Looking at the new source books (Lockdown mostly) and the novels, along with the available online timeline, it seems that if 2076 is going to be rocking with CFD and other stuff, 2075 is a rather quiet year. Or did I miss something, somewhere ?

The new Matrix is the big thing for 2075.
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

I thought the new Matrix arrived after the crash of 64 ? (I've skipped Shadowrun 4 so my knowledge of the timeline between 2062 and 2075 is pretty spotty)

You might want to read Storm Front and The Sixth World Almanac. The almanac has a timeline up until 2072 (I think) while storm front ties Up many knots and pushes until 2074 or is it 75

Yes, but it was so insecure (read: 4E matrix rules were so clunky) that they rebuilt the matrix once more as an ingame(inuniverse explanation why the matrix rules have changed so massively from 4th to 5e

Ayup. I'm not sure if it's Matrix 2.5 or 3.0 at this stage (I generally say 3.0), but there was a HUGE reconfiguration of teh wireless Matrix that left the old hackers flumoxxed. NeoNET, Renraku, and especially MCT made out like monsters in the deal.

Ah ok, here again, me having stop Shadowrun at 3ed and jump into 5ed clearly show again the limits of it. I had not realized "GOD and the secure Matrix" crap were specific to 5ed. Actually, I assume all the overhauling of the matrix rules happened in 4th.

OK, but apart from the Matrice ? What are (if any) the main event of 2075 ? True I have to read (and actually find/order) Storm Front, but my understanding is that it more/less stops at the end of 2074....

Well, there's the reconstruction of Chicago, but that will take a LOT of time.

CFD is the big event in 2075. And even then it is just starting to emerge.
Tansfering to the updated matrix protocols (and the return of Decks) consumed most of 2074/75

Boston lockdown happens in 2075 (CFD related)
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

The Dragon Civil War ended in 2075, I think...  Or late 2074, one of the two.

One of those has unverified side-effects on metahumans...  And was spread all across the northern coast of South America. 

Also, Lofwyr stepped down from the position of Loremaster.

(Of course, all of this is in Storm Front, so buy it and read it!)

Lockdown starts in mid 2076.
