11.5.1 HF8 Release Notes

I was wondering if anyone had the release notes for hotfix 8? I checked the hotfix article for 11.5.1 and it doesn't appear they have it up there yet.   This is where I normally go for information...

The HF release notes are also on the download site container where you download the HF image. It may take a bit longer to get the edited SOL to the AskF5 support site.
