The iso images for the release can be found by visiting the Get Gentoo! page. Fooled me with the word 'release' in that sentence. Its even got a codename. You know something is a proper release if its got a codename... :) It is referring to installation iso I guess. Still, even though it is not a true release in, eh, truer meaning of the word 'release', whatever it is in Linux distro world, it would still be nice to have Release Notes with some info on whats new/changed.
