+Radicale 0.8
+============
+
+Radicale 0.8 is out!
+
+
+0.8 - Rainbow
+-------------
+
+* New authentication and rights management modules (by Matthias Jordan)
+* Experimental database storage
+* Command-line option for custom configuration file (by Mark Adams)
+* Root URL not at the root of a domain (by Clint Adams, Fabrice Bellet, Vincent Untz)
+* Improved support for iCal, CalDAVSync, CardDAVSync, CalDavZAP and CardDavMATE
+* Empty PROPFIND requests handled (by Christoph Polcin)
+* Colon allowed in passwords
+* Configurable realm message
+
+This version brings some of the biggest changes since Radicale's creation,
+including an experimental support of database storage, clean authentication
+modules, and rights management finally designed for real users.
+
+So, dear user, be careful: **this version changes important things in the
+configuration file, so check twice that everything is OK when you update to
+0.8, or you can have big problems**.
+
+More and more clients are supported, as a lot of bug fixes and features have
+been added for this purpose. And before you ask: yes, 2 web-based clients,
+`CalDavZAP and CardDavMATE <http://www.inf-it.com/open-source/clients/>`_, are
+now supported!
+
+Even if there has been a lot of time to test these new features, I am pretty
+sure that some really annoying bugs have been left in this version. We will
+probably release minor versions with bugfixes during the next weeks, and it
+will not take one more year to reach 0.8.1.
+
+The documentation has been updated, but some parts are missing and some may be
+out of date. You can `report bugs <https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/issues>`_
+or even `write documentation directly on GitHub
+<https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/blob/website/pages/user_documentation.rst>`_
+if you find something strange (and you probably will).
+
+If anything is not clear, or if the way rights work is a bit complicated to
+understand, or if you are so happy because everything works so well, you can
+`share your thoughts </contribute/>`_!
+
+It has been a real pleasure to work on this version, with brilliant ideas and
+interesting bug reports from the community. I'd really like to thank all the
+people reporting bugs, chatting on IRC, sending mails and proposing pull
+requests: you are awesome.
