Well, today they finally released the new version of 8.04, Hardy Heron. It is a LTS release, and I encourage you to all download it. Please, please, please, use the Torrents. The download servers will be crawling for a few days so if you download using torrents, it will help us all. Help out your fellow downloaders and do not close your program after they download. Here are the links:
