 ============================================================================
 
+Changes in 0.8.0-beta (Sun May 25 2014)
+  - Btcd is now Beta (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/130)
+  - Add a new checkpoint at block height 300255
+  - Protocol and network related changes:
+    - Lower the minimum transaction relay fee to 1000 satoshi to match
+      recent reference client changes
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/100)
+    - Raise the maximum signature script size to support standard 15-of-15
+      multi-signature pay-to-sript-hash transactions with compressed pubkeys
+      to remain compatible with the reference client
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/128)
+    - Reduce max bytes allowed for a standard nulldata transaction to 40 for
+      compatibility with the reference client
+    - Introduce a new btcnet package which houses all of the network params
+      for each network (mainnet, testnet3, regtest) to ultimately enable
+      easier addition and tweaking of networks without needing to change
+      several packages
+    - Fix several script discrepancies found by reference client test data
+    - Add new DNS seed for peer discovery (seed.bitnodes.io)
+    - Reduce the max known inventory cache from 20000 items to 1000 items
+    - Fix an issue where unknown inventory types could lead to a hung peer
+    - Implement inventory rebroadcast handler for sendrawtransaction
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/99)
+    - Update user agent to fully support BIP0014
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcwire/issues/10)
+  - Implement initial mining support:
+    - Add a new logging subsystem for mining related operations
+    - Implement infrastructure for creating block templates
+    - Provide options to control block template creation settings
+    - Support the getwork RPC
+    - Allow address identifiers to apply to more than one network since both
+      testnet3 and the regression test network unfortunately use the same
+      identifier
+  - RPC changes:
+    - Set the content type for HTTP POST RPC connections to application/json
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/121)
+    - Modified the RPC server startup so it only requires at least one valid
+      listen interface
+    - Correct an error path where it was possible certain errors would not
+      be returned
+    - Implement getwork command
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/125)
+    - Update sendrawtransaction command to reject orphans
+    - Update sendrawtransaction command to include the reason a transaction
+      was rejected
+    - Update getinfo command to populate connection count field
+    - Update getinfo command to include relay fee field
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/107)
+    - Allow transactions submitted with sendrawtransaction to bypass the
+      rate limiter
+    - Allow the getcurrentnet and getbestblock extensions to be accessed via
+      HTTP POST in addition to Websockets
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/127)
+  - Websocket changes:
+    - Rework notifications to ensure they are delivered in the order they
+      occur
+    - Rename notifynewtxs command to notifyreceived (funds received)
+    - Rename notifyallnewtxs command to notifynewtransactions
+    - Rename alltx notification to txaccepted
+    - Rename allverbosetx notification to txacceptedverbose
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/98)
+    - Add rescan progress notification
+    - Add recvtx notification
+    - Add redeemingtx notification
+    - Modify notifyspent command to accept an array of outpoints
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/123)
+    - Significantly optimize the rescan command to yield up to a 60x speed
+      increase
+  - btcctl utility changes:
+    - Add createencryptedwallet command
+    - Add getblockchaininfo command
+    - Add importwallet commmand
+    - Add addmultisigaddress commmand
+    - Add setgenerate command
+    - Accept --testnet and --wallet flags which automatically select
+      the appropriate port and TLS certificates needed to communicate
+      with btcd and btcwallet (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/112)
+    - Allow path expansion from config file entries
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/113)
+    - Minor refactor simplify handling of options
+  - addblock utility changes:
+    - Improve logging by making it consistent with the logging provided by
+      btcd (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/90)
+  - Improve several package APIs for developers:
+    - Add new amount type for consistently handling monetary values
+    - Add new coin selector API
+    - Add new WIF (Wallet Import Format) API
+    - Add new crypto types for private keys and signatures
+    - Add new API to sign transactions including script merging and hash
+      types
+    - Expose function to extract all pushed data from a script
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcscript/issues/8)
+  - Misc changes:
+    - Optimize address manager shuffling to do 67% less work on average
+    - Resolve a couple of benign data races found by the race detector
+      (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/101)
+    - Add IP address to all peer related errors to clarify which peer is the
+      cause (https://github.com/conformal/btcd/issues/102)
+    - Fix a UPNP case issue that prevented the --upnp option from working
+      with some UPNP servers
+    - Update documentation in the sample config file regarding debug levels
+    - Adjust some logging levels to improve debug messages
+    - Improve the throughput of query messages to the block manager
+    - Several minor optimizations to reduce GC churn and enhance speed
+    - Other minor refactoring
+    - General code cleanup
