I am pleased to announce the general availability of CentOS Linux 7 (1804) for across all architectures.
I’ve checked about a dozen of the mirrors, and see no *.torrent files yet. Any idea how long they’ll take to appear? I ask because we’re building a system today, so if it’s going to be more than a few hours, I’ll grab the ISO file directly, but otherwise, I’d prefer to spread the load.
As always, read through the Release Notes at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7
The “RHEL” link here still points to the 7.4 release notes:

Probably not going to have them seeded today. Debuginfo in progress right now and there are a bunch of things that need to be added to the extras repositories for docker/cloud/atomic that are priority for right now.

OK .. the torrent files are on mirror.centos.org and the torrent server has seeds, so the torrents can now be downloaded.
Special thanks for the torrents go to Anssi Johansson (avji on freenode/IRC), who also manages our external mirror database and the ipv6 mirrorlist server. Anssi is always key to us getting out release as a valued member of the QA team .. but for this release he was even more so.
While thanking people .. The entire QA team help tremendously (as always) .. Specifically very helpful were these non CentOS core team members:
Akemi Yagi Anssi Johansson Manuel Wolfshant Pablo Greco John Dennison Trevor Hemsley Christoph Galuschka James O'Connor
And keeping the Community Build System going: Thomas Oulevey
And someone who always helps me figure out all the build issues: Tuomo Soini (Foobar Linux team)
And the rest of the CentOS Core team: Karanbir Singh Jim Perrin Fabian Arrotin Brian Stinson
There is no way would could have got this release out the door without each of these people. (Obviously, if I forgot anyone, feel free to slap me next time you seem me :D )
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

I did forget a couple of key contributors,
For backporting code for our CentOS 7 i386 kernel (which becomes harder and harder every release), I would like to specifically thank:
The Springdale Linux Team Akemi Yagi Taketo Kabe Pablo Greco
Also, all of the volunteers who help translate our release notes: Hajime Taira Timothy Lee Inyong Hwang Hao Lee
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
