From the GitHub release page:
This is CircuitPython 8.0.0-beta.2, a beta release for 8.0.0. It is relatively stable, but there will be further additions and fixes before final release.
NOTE: ESP32-C3 board builds are not functional in this release. Use 8.0.0-beta.1.
NOTE: Some ESP32 board builds are not functional in this release. Use 8.0.0-beta.3.
Warning: The flash partitioning for the Raspberry Pi Pico W has changed since 8.0.0-beta.1. When you load 8.0.0-beta.2 over beta.1 (or vice versa), on the Pico W only, CIRCUITPY will be erased and reformatted.

Firmware downloads are available from the downloads page on circuitpython.org. The site makes it easy to select the correct file and language for your board.
To install follow the instructions in the Welcome to CircuitPython! guide. To install the latest libraries, see this page in that guide.
Try the latest version of the Mu editor for creating and editing your CircuitPython programs and for easy access to the CircuitPython serial connection (the REPL).
Documentation is available in readthedocs.io.
CircuitPython has a number of “ports” that are the core implementations for different microcontroller families. Stability varies on a per-port basis. As of this release, these ports are consider stable:
These ports are considered alpha and will have bugs and missing functionality:
