TeX Live 2008 is now officially released. This information was posted by Karl Berry to comp.text.tex yesterday, though it’s been available for download since some days already. In this version the underlying package infrastructure has been redesigned and reimplemented, it allows dynamic package updates over the internet like with MiKTeX for years. That’s a big step forward!
You can find more information about new and changed features by reading the original release notes.
