Please look at the BEA website.
There is a new press statement/synthesis of the accident. There is also some recommendations regarding pilot training for high alt stalls, and a recommendation that all aircraft display A of A data.

Personally, I'm concerned at the absence of comment on pilot/aircraft interface factors- in particular, regarding the loss of speed data resulting in a situation where correct stall recovery actions appear to have led to a reactivation of the stall warning. At that moment, it seemed to be the last chance for these poor people.

My friends in the industry none the less assure me that fyling attitude strictly, with minimal changes to any control inputs, would have saved the day.

I would also be interested in any comments as to how the alarm/alert system may interact with a disorientated pilot to produce responses that generate additional risk in emergency situations.
