Oh, and I don't know where Joyent announced this news - it certainly wasn't on their blog... and the article doesn't provide any source. The only time I saw anyone mention anything about 0.8's release date, was here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/nodejs/aRC2pbFN8NU/YXpB_vuCT...
There are (at least) 7 more open issues before 0.8: https://github.com/joyent/node/issues?milestone=10&state...

I feel guilty upvoting this story; specially given that submitter is just a dummy account promoting this blog.
