We don't have a firm estimate, but aiming for later this year/early
next year.

Yes, ODB 2.5.0 can only be built with build2 as described in these
step-by-step guide:

https://codesynthesis.com/products/odb/doc/install-build2.xhtml

Note that once installed, ODB can be used with any other build system,
just like if it were built with an autotools-based build system (there
are even pkg-config files).
