Found in my mailbox:
------------------------------
We have produced new Member and Leader Services (MLS) software,
version 2.8. This new version will be released on Sunday March 2nd.
We anticipate that the download will be approximately 30-40 minutes
over a dial up connection. You will have the option of opting out of
performing the download of MLS 2.8 3 times until March 9th. Beginning
March 9th the patch for MLS version 2.8 will be forced down to your
machine during a send/receive. We will also not patch any units on
March 2nd or March 9th from the hours of 11 A.M. (MST) to 2 P.M. (MST)
because of resource constraints. Regular MLS transmissions will work
fine during this time.
This version of MLS (2.8) needs to be installed before the end of the
first quarter to support priesthood council directed changes to the
Quarterly Reports.
We recommend doing a send/receive first thing when you get to the
clerks office until this version is officially released to avoid any
downloads during tithing transmissions.
------------------------
It goes on to say that it can be downloaded from the usual place, but
I don't think the site has been updated yet as it's still showing 2.8
as beta.
