I Heard a Rumor - PCLOS 8.1 in the Works?

A little birdie told me that an update to the acclaimed PCLinuxOS Preview 8 is in the works and possibly due out next week. Details are a bit sketchy at this time, but it seems Tom has been hard at work updating the hardware detection and mklivecd scripts. Now don't get your hopes up, but I hear it might sport a newer 2.6.10 kernel, including patches to fix a little kvm switch problem. Of course it will include all kinds of application updates and other goodies. More on this as it develops.

You talk the talk, but do you waddle the waddle?
it's already out
PCLinuxOS is a rolling-release distro. If you're fully updated, you have 2008. There is no waiting for the next release cycle. This is much kinder on developers and users alike.
The LiveCD is still vintage May '07, though. At some point that will be updated to reflect current modules & stuff. Maybe that's what you're picking up on.
