Fedora 8 will be released later today. From the Fedora mailing list:

On Thursday November 8th (about 3:00 PM GMT), Fedora 8 will go live to the world, and you will be able to download it at http://fedoraproject.org.

The bits are all finalized, the mirrors are synced, and the torrents are primed. But until we flip the switch, you will have to tide yourself over with this -- my personal Fedora 8 release announcement.

Fortunately, it's pretty long, so if you read it all, Fedora 8 might be released by the time you have finished!

Fedora 8 Test 3 (7.92) has been released:

Fedora 8 Test 3 is here! This is the last test release before the development freeze and a great time to test all those packages that you know and love. Test 3 is for beta users. This is the time when we must have full community participation. Without this participation both hardware and software functionality suffers.

Fedora 8 Test 2 (7.91) has been released:

Batten down the hatches, Fedora 8 Test 2 spotted just over the port side bow!

A veritable "sea" of choices await you in this release. First up is the "Fedora" installable 'choose your own adventure' style set of isos and trees for i386, x86_64, and ppc(64). Next up we have a variety of Live images:

* Fedora Live (i686, x86_64, ppc) - A good general use Desktop live image. i686 even fits on a CD!

* Fedora KDE Live (i686, x86_64) - A Desktop based on the KDE software suite. i686 even fits on a CD!

* Fedora Developer Live (i686) - A Live image designed for software developers.

* Fedora Electronic Lab (FEL) Live (i686) - A live image designed for engineers working on electronics. Fits on a CD!

Remember that these Live images can be used on USB meida via the 'livecd-iso-to-disk' utility available in the livecd-tools package.

Test 2 is for "beta" users. This is the time where we have more features in a "testable" state where the more people using them and the more feedback we get the better. So please help us make Fedora 8 as good as we can!
