The way to make it come, is to start using the trunk
(i.e. 0.8-dev) and report any major issues. See below.

We also have some new status reports. We still
need to assign Urgency values to issues to make
them show. However that is discussion for dev@ list.

Not much, if anything, to do for "upgrading" from
0.7 to 0.8-dev ... 

I just tried one of my sites and i did not need to
do anything at all.

Perhaps there are some new skinconf.xml settings and
forrest.properties settings that you might take advantage
of. Anyway mine worked out-of-the-box with 0.8-dev

This page says that you need to do 'forrest clean-work'.
Not sure if necessary.
