Hi all,

Thank you all for helping make 0.8 what it is and helping get it out  
the door. I've written up a bit about the release here:

Tarballs are here:

Assuming I didn't screw anything up, the wheels of distributions will  
soon being to turn and make 0.8 available for consumption in the  
repos, I imagine. (A huge thanks to maintainers).

0.9, as you may know, has a huge swath of ideas already lined up for  
it, which will begin ... now.

The release-0.8 branch is also now available.

I'll post more as things evolve and exciting things happen.

In keeping with the Van Halen naming system, 0.9 is called "Dreams".

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher  
Straight up we'll climb  
Higher and higher  
Leave it all behind  
Oh, we'll get higher and higher  
Who knows what we'll find?
