What's a synonym for "not last" [duplicate]

If I want to indicate that the current batch of items isn't the last one, what's one generic word to say "not last"?

P.S. Not looking for a specific word e.g. penultimate


Solution 1:

Not last is non-terminal. Simple as that.

(Sometimes it is called intermediate: an intermediate item in a series is neither the first nor the last.)

But I second @Papa Poule's comment that if you are trying to distinguish the most recent but not necessarily the last, then use latest.

Solution 2:

"on-going"

"On-going batch" will indicate that there's more to come.

Also, "non-final," but that's too formal here.
