According to Twitter: https://mobile.twitter.com/CentOSProject/status/1173652996305170432 "The next version of #CentOS is being released September 24 and will be announced in all the usual places."

I installed CentOS 8.1.1911 from the iso as soon as it was released. I'm using the on-board ASPEED VGA video. I installed MATE v1.22 from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/stenstorp/MATE/.
