+# v0.8.0
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- A trailing `|` is no longer allowed in flags.
+- The primitive type names `gboolean`, `gchararray`, `gint`, `gint64`, `guint`, `guint64`, `gfloat`, `gdouble`, `utf8`, and `gtype` are no longer permitted. Use the non-`g`-prefixed versions instead.
+- Translated strings may no longer have trailing commas.
+
+## Added
+
+- Added cast expressions, which are sometimes needed to specify type information in expressions.
+- Added support for closure expressions.
+- Added the `--typelib-path` command line argument, which allows adding directories to the search path for typelib files.
+- Added custom compile and decompile commands to the language server. (Sonny Piers)
+- Added support for [Adw.MessageDialog](https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1-latest/class.MessageDialog.html#adwmessagedialog-as-gtkbuildable) custom syntax.
+- Added support for inline sub-templates for [Gtk.BuilderListItemFactory](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.BuilderListItemFactory.html). (Cameron Dehning)
+- Added support for [Adw.Breakpoint](https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/class.Breakpoint.html) custom syntax.
+- Added a warning when an object ID might be confusing.
+- Added support for [Gtk.Scale](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/class.Scale.html#gtkscale-as-gtkbuildable) custom syntax.
+
+## Changed
+
+Some of these changes affect syntax, but the old syntax is still accepted with a purple "upgrade" warning, so they are not breaking changes yet. In editors that support code actions, such as Visual Studio Code, the blueprint language server can automatically fix these warnings.
+
+- The XML output uses the integer value rather than GIR name for enum values.
+- Compiler errors are now printed to stderr rather than stdout. (Sonny Piers)
+- Introduced `$` to indicate types or callbacks that are provided in application code.
+  - Types that are provided by application code are now begin with a `$` rather than a leading `.`.
+  - The handler name in a signal is now prefixed with `$`.
+  - Closure expressions, which were added in this version, are also prefixed with `$`.
+- When a namespace is not found, errors are supressed when the namespace is used.
+- The compiler bug message now reports the version of blueprint-compiler.
+- The `typeof` syntax now uses `<>` instead of `()` to match cast expressions.
+- Menu sections and subsections can now have an ID.
+- The interactive porting tool now ignores hidden folders. (Sonny Piers)
+- Templates now use the typename syntax rather than an ID to specify the template's class. In most cases, this just means adding a `$` prefix to the ID, but for GtkListItem templates it should be shortened to ListItem (since the Gtk namespace is implied). The template object is now referenced with the `template` keyword rather than with the ID.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- Fixed a bug in the language server's acceptance of text change commands. (Sonny Piers)
+- Fixed a bug in the display of diagnostics when the diagnostic is at the beginning of a line.
+- Fixed a crash that occurred when dealing with array types.
+- Fixed a bug that prevented Gio.File properties from being settable.
+
+## Documentation
+
+- Added a reference section to the documentation. This replaces the Examples page with a detailed description of each syntax feature, including a formal specification of the grammar.
