Still looking myself, I hope they dont mean "free points to buy LR hearts!"
It is coming. Your current build does not have it. The build coming tomorrow might. Neither of these builds is the one going to Live, so don't get nervous ... yet ...

I'm hoping it's for Live Servers too. It would be a bit poor form to release so many changes to spells and enhancements without giving the affected classes some way of adapting easily to those changes.
Only wizards and clerics really come out unscathed due to the ease with which they can swap spells.

They have in fact given respecs for free before. When they changed how rogue feats were assigned rogues were given a number of free feat exchanges equal to the number of selectable rogue feats they had received up until that point.
I'm pretty sure they did it for someone else too but I can't remember who...
They gave out free feat respecs in the past, though I only remember rogues receiving them. This was mostly when they changed how Special Abilities worked and had added a few new ones.
Many changes never make a character completely nonviable. That's usually just player perception and unwillingness to adapt. These spell changes a bit different because they take many days to swap more than one and Savant PREs can severely weaken what was once one-half of a sorcerers spell list.

Can we get these on live since this update will dramatically changes our builds?

i used a lesser heart on the sorc last night because i didn't wanna wait. a feat exchange wouldnt have worked because i needed to get all the new spells to try em out.
The only class which NEEDS a free respec is rogues. Spells and enhancements can be changed in-game (albeit slowly for some classes).
The changes to the bluff skill will prompt many rogues to change skills and there is currently no way in the game to change skills without a Reincarnation.
