So, How's MongoDB 2.8 Coming Along?
Is there a beta available yet?

Is there a beta available yet?
There's a release candidate already? (Actually, a second release candidate now.)
So, what do we get?

- Pluggable storage engines.
- Collection-level locking on the traditional MMap storage engine.
- Document-level locking in the new storage engine, WiredTiger.
- Compression, transactions, and MVCC in WiredTiger too.
- Some management stuff.

That's not a lot, but since the number one weakness of MongoDB has always been its storage engine* so if WiredTiger lives up to its claims, this could be right up there with TokuMX. And TokuMX is my pick for the best general-purpose database in existence, so that is actually saying something.
* Though that's improved a lot since 2010, when I was able to crash it and destroy my database in 15 minutes of testing.
