So twelve days after jQuery UI 1.8RC3 was released, which followed the release of the previous release candidate – 1.8RC2 after less than 2 weeks, the release of the final jQuery UI 1.8 is only a few days (moments?) away – seeing that 1.8RC3 is the final version before final release. In itself, the UI RC3 release has a huge set of fixes built into it already (listed below, as presented on the release notes) so the rest from here on in will be final testing and tweaking. It’s over at http://jqueryui.com/
