As with all forward looking statements, everything is tentative - including the version number.
Tentatively, the next version is currently expected to be numbered as 8.0.00, yes. It is currently expected to be released in Q3CY12. It had been tentatively numbered as 7.7.00 until a few months ago. This emphasizes the reason why versions are not considered official or confirmed until General Availability is reached. Also note that whether it has "Loads of new features" or not is based on the perception of the individual making the statement. While numbered as 8.0.00, it would not be considered a major release based on content when compared to the industry's typical definition of "major". Unfortunately, I can't go into details of content on a public forum to further explain. However, if you attend WWRUG 12, I'll be doing a "What's New" presentation there. And, of course, once it reaches GA there will be a "What's New" document that details new features. -David J.

"Loads of new features and expectations" will be respectable for a such major release but I think looking at the amount of bugs introduced since version 7.6 that stability across platforms is the most important.
