Edit:
New info from the video:
The next update is going to be one of the biggest ones ever.
The contracts will have a lot more player choice, players choose the type of contracts they do and the rewards they try to achieve. They call it "Choose your own adventure" internally.
The Pyro class pack will likely have weapons for the pyro that changes the class in some way and has a new gameplay twist.
There will be broad game balancing work, based on comp player feedback. Looking at high level for balance.
It sounds like the Jungle update will be part of the Pyro update.
It will also include community maps and cosmetics
Competitive will have an ELO system and placement matches.
They're working on a 4-5 minute video for the Pyro update similar to the Meet the Team videos.
Valve happened to be working on the Jungle theme update at the same time as the Mayann update.

Edit:
One thing you may want to add to that summary ashecitism is that the Jungle theme will be used for a new Valve made map. I didn't include it when I made that summary because that thread is for hardcore TF2 fans and Valve had already announced they were making the map on the blog so everyone there was aware of it however many people reading this thread probably aren't aware of the map.
The next video that Valve News Network is going to post is the CSGO team talking about gambling, that video is going to be very interesting.
