What's supposed to be new in HP-UX 8.0 ??

Even if the 8.0 release is soon available, I have no idea what will be
new in this release..

This morning I was asking the UK HP Response Centre when HP-UX 8.0 will 
be available in the UK for series 300 machines.  Whilst talking to
them I mentioned that I thought it had been released already elsewhere
in the world.  Am I right or do people have pre-release versions only?

To the best of my knowledge :

700     : 8.01 (note the added "1") shipped with new systems.
800/600 : Normal customer release ("AR") : not yet released. Probably
          question of a few weeks.
	  VAR release : (I think) shipping in the US, not yet in Europe.
300/400 : Not yet released (not for new systems, not for VARs, not for
          normal customers).

For more precise information: Contact your local HP support
administration (for updates) or sales (for new systems) department.

I have a message from May 13 which says:

The Solution Core Release (SCR) for new customers was to begin May 8 for 
s800 and June 11 for s300/400.  VAB update shipments of SCR was to begin 
May 13 for s800 and June 18 for s300/400.  The Application Release (AR)
for new customers is supposed to begin July 2 for s800 and July 11
of s300/400.  The AR Trade Update is supposed to begin July 9 for s800
and July 18 for s300/400.

The SCR releases, as I understand them, consist of the minimum 
functionality to ship to customers.  The AR releases will have 
significant quality improvements.  This is *not* official HP 
information.
