Howdy,

The short answer is YES. Work is progressing on TeX Live 2013 development so TeX Live 2012 is frozen.

One major new feature of TeX Live 2013 is that XeTeX is now a full 64bit application and has switched to the Harfbuz (sp?) engine. Several other major packages have been updated also.

Good Luck,
