8.03, 8.3, or as the release notes say 8.471. Whatever the case, it looks like the driver is (soon) to be out, and the release notes are already up. Can't wait to give this driver a spin.
For those interested, here are the mentioned resolved issues:
* On workstation hardware 3D applications will no longer be corrupted if the screen width is not an integer multiple of 64 pixels, for example with a 1680x1050 wide screen display. Further details can be found in topic number 737-31720
* Display flicker is no longer be noticed when the gnome screen-saver starts
* Several image brightness and gamma-correction issues were resolved. Setting the gamma correction using xgamma, fglrx_xgamma, xorg.conf and in OpenGL games will all work as expected now.
* Diagonal tearing will no longer be noticed when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
* Video playback will no longer look blocky when playing a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
...and known issues
* There is no support for video playback on the second head in dual head mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-26985
* Desktop corruption may be noticed when dragging the overlay/video when using dual-display mode. Further details can be found in topic number 737-29578
* A black screen may be observed on some hardware when switching to the console or leaving the X window system when a Vesa framebuffer console driver is used. Further details can be found in topic number 737-30687
* Video Playback may display wrong colors and additional shadow images when cropping or expanding a video file using a video player that utilizes the XVideo extension
Is it just me, or is the known/resolved issues listed in the release notes becoming more meaningful...?

EDIT: Driver is not up yet though it is linked (File not found). Probably caught it when they were in the middle of releasing
EDIT2: Seems like the phoronix crew also posted the thread while I was typing this one up...
