If you can, wait a couple weeks and install 3.1-RELEASE. Otherwise, do a
network installation of 3.0-STABLE.

That would be 3.0-STABLE. It's only available for download at the moment.

2.2.8-RELEASE is 2.2.8 as it was released on CD. 2.2.8-STABLE is
2.2.8-RELEASE with post-release bugfixes and additions. The 2.2 branch was
recently EOLed. 3.X is the new stable branch.

Not built-in. Use 3.0-STABLE or later for that.
