+# 8.0.0 - Sept 18, 2022
+
+This release includes several new features, bug fixes, and breaking changes. Below is the highlight of major changes in
+this release
+- Works with bitcoin crate 0.29
+- Remove the `DescriptorTrait` (286)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/286]. All the methods are
+now available under the Descriptor API without requiring to import the trait.
+- Add `no-std` support thanks to (PR)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/277]
+- Added a Taproot descriptor Compiler support. The API now allows compiling policies to taproot descriptors
+that optimize privacy as well as spending costs at the same time. See (291)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/291]
+for proof. (Policy::compile_to_descriptor)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/352] allows directly
+to compile a policy to the given descriptor.
+- Add PsbtInputExt::update_with_descriptor API. See (PR)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/339]
+- Reworked the TranslatePk APIs. Add a Translator trait to cleanly allow downstream users
+without dealing with APIs that accept function pointers. Also provides `translate_assoc_clone` and `translate_assoc_fail`
+macros for helping in writing code.
+- Updated MiniscriptKey trait to accept associated types for Sha256, Hash256, Ripemd160 and
+Hash160. This allows users to write abstract miniscripts hashes as "sha256(H)"
+instead of specifying the entire hash in the string.
+that updates the psbt with descriptor bip32 paths.
+- The project now uses edition 2018
+- Re-name (`as_public`)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/377] APIs -> `to_public`
+- Add the `DerivedDescriptorKey` type for specifying DescriptorKeys without wildcards. Several APIs that required derived keys
+now use this type instead of `DescriptorPublicKey`
+- Significantly improve the timelock code with new rust-bitcoin APIs. (PR)[https://github.com/rust-bitcoin/rust-miniscript/pull/414]
+- rust-miniscript minor implementation detail: `PkH` fragment now has `Pk` generic instead of `Pk::Hash`. This only concerns users
+that operate with `MiniscriptKey = bitcoin::PublicKey` or users that use custom implementation of `MiniscriptKey`. Users that use
+`DescriptorPublicKey` need not be concerned.
+To elaborate, "pkh(<20-byte-hex>)" is no longer parsed by the `MiniscriptKey = bitcoin::PublicKey`. This is consistent
+with the descriptor spec as defined. Parsing from `bitcoin::Script` for pkh<20-byte-hex> is still supported, but the library
+would not analyze them. These raw descriptors are still in spec discussions. Rust-miniscript will support them once they are completely specified.

 # 7.0.0 - April 20, 2022
 
 - Fixed miniscript type system bug. This is a security vulnerability and users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
