Whonix 8 Release Date?

I tried Whonix 7.7.8.6 already and love it.
Until now I used Whonix 5 because the stable debian is much better.

Is there a release date or month for the Whonix 8 start?
The plan is to take Whonix 7.7.8.6 and release it as Whonix 8 after testing, right?

No.

A few build script fixes and minor improvements have been made. If it goes well, soon rebuild as Whonix 8. New test. Then release.

Seems like there are no issues with 7.7.9.8… Preparing the release…
