If you want to "try" it, I noticed the last public Beta is still in the Download Manager. ...but now that I bring it up, it may catch their attention, so hurry!!!

(...you can run the beta in parallel with an older release, just check the thread before installing it, to backup your content DB and other stuff)

Before the first 4.9 Public Beta was released the Public Beta was the same as the release version of 4.8. It isn't some big secret, Daz 3D knows all about it, to the point of making sure they are the same version.
