The announcement went out on sles-beta, see

http://lists.suse.com/mailman/private/sles-beta/Week-of-Mon-20140609/001032.html

It includes the information how to get and install it, as well as 
pointers to the mailing list.

Please, be aware that SMT was tested with Beta8. AFAIK Beta9 switches to

now, please, use Beta8 for testing against SMT.
