The time is ripe to lock off on a stable 0.8 release.
(We've actually been avoiding ABI breaks for awhile now, this should be anti-climactic). New features / bug fixes will continue to be welcome in 0.8, presuming they are low risk and the code is vetted.

**Version 0.8.0 (Apr 19 2011):** * ABI Lockoff for stable 0.8 branch New features can be added, but the ABI will only be extended in a binary compatible manner * Otherwise identical to 0.7.9
