+0.8.0 - 18 Apr, 2016
+++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Client
+======
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+- `#7656 <https://leap.se/code/issues/7656>`_: Emit multi-user aware events.
+- Client will now send documents at a limited size batch due to changes on SyncTarget. The default limit is 500kB. Disabled by default.
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+- `#7503 <https://leap.se/code/issues/7503>`_: Do not signal sync completion if sync failed.
+- Handle missing design doc at GET (get_sync_info). Soledad server can handle this during sync.
+
+Misc
+~~~~
+- `#7195 <https://leap.se/code/issues/7195>`_: Use cryptography instead of pycryptopp.
+
+Known Issues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- Upload phase of client syncs is still quite slow. Enabling size limited batching
+  can help, but you have to make sure that your server is compatible.
+
+Server
+======
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+- General performance improvements.
+- `#7509 <https://leap.se/code/issues/7509>`_: Moves config directory from /etc/leap to /etc/soledad.
+- Adds a new config parameter 'create_cmd', which allows sysadmin to specify
+  which command will create a database. That command was added in
+  pkg/create-user-db and debian package automates steps needed for sudo access.
+- Read netrc path from configuration file for create-user-db command. 
+- 'create-user-db' script now can be configured from soledad-server.conf when
+  generating the user's security document.
+- Migrating a user's database to newest design documents is now possible by
+  using a parameter '--migrate-all' on 'create-user-db' script.
+- Remove tsafe monkeypatch from SSL lib, as it was needed for Twisted <12
+- Added two methods to start and finish a batch on backend. They can be used to
+  change database behaviour, allowing batch operations to be optimized.
+
+Common
+======
+
+Features
+~~~~~~~~
+- Add a sanitized command executor for database creation and re-enable user
+  database creation on CouchServerState via command line.
+
+Bugfixes
+~~~~~~~~
+- `#7626 <https://leap.se/code/issues/7626>`_: Subclass a leaky leap.common.couch exception to avoid depending on couch.
