It's finally here. Blender 2.8 with EEVEE tech.
Stable release for Win and Beta for Mac
"EEVEE is a new physically based realtime renderer.
It works both as a renderer for final frames, and as the engine driving Blender’s realtime viewport for creating assets."
Incredible. Check this out. I have played with it and I cannot believe what I am seeing.

Small point but both Mac and PC versions are listed as Beta. The stable release is 2.79b

Yes - that is what I also see. 2.8 is Beta on all OS and 2.79 stable on all versions. Like I said, it was small point but the first post suggested 2.8 was stable on PC
As an aside, I'm surprised they haven't called it version 3 with such a massive change to the user interface and the rendering engine.

Great for fast rendering - so big advantages for motion. For realistic renders though I still prefer the ray tracing (path tracing) of the Cycles render.
