To make a long story short, the release notes were already finalized
and you'll see the sendmail update mentioned in the post-release
errata.

As has been pointed out by at least one other person, 4.8-RELEASE
isn't officially available until a PGP-signed announcement from a
member of the release engineering team gets sent to the
freebsd-announce@ mailing list.
