From magentocommerce.com, we receive the news that Magenta Preview Version 1.4.0.0-alpha2 is available for download as of Sept 25th. Disclaimers on the site state that this is a preview version only, not available for upgrade from the Magento Connect Manager, and not recommended for use in a production environment. This is simply a sneak preview of an upcoming release which will feature WYSIWYG support for CMS pages, Magento Widgets, and improved indexing.

Their release notes page contains extensive lists of improvements, changes, and bug fixes. If you have reason to play with this early code, take note of the link to the bug tracker. http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking/report/
