The full NetBSD 0.8 release announcement was archived. You can find one
copy of it at:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/release/NetBSD/NetBSD-0.8
This post from cgd is dated 19-Apr-1993. Though it isn't as formal as later
NetBSD release announcements, this is probably the closest thing to a "0.8
release announcement" that exists.
