[O] Emacs with Org 8?

[SabreWolfy]

The latest stable release of Emacs is 24.3.1, which does not contain Org
version 8? Therefore, using Org 8 requires (manual) installation? I am using
a modified version of Emacs on Mac, with ESS and other packages
pre-installed. This version has Org 7.9.3 though :(
