Why is v.8 something to look forward to?

[EvilKingStan]

Yeah, but if you keep up with the git builds you'll have it before the 0.8 release. (Henrik has stated elsewhere that he'll do a 0.7.5 release first anyways.) So when he posts 0.8 on the official builds list, all it'll be for the people who use the git builds is a change in the number after the logo. Besides that, if you check the pull requests on Github, there are already builds that do audio and video. It just isn't perfect yet.
