We promised that you'd be the first to know when Live and installation ISO images of the Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 release become available for download, so here you go. The Debian Project just finished uploading all the Debian GNU/Linux 8.8 "Jessie" Live CDs and installation mediums for all supported hardware architectures.

A multi-arch image is also available for download, along with the source DVDs, which consist of no less than ten ISO images, and the Live ISOs come in GNOME, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, MATE, and Cinnamon, along with a standard ISO image that features a minimal desktop environment.
