 Release notes
 =============
 
-Mailu 1.8 - 2020-10-02
+Mailu 1.8 - 2021-08-7
-----------------------
+---------------------
+
+The full 1.8 release is finally ready. There have been some changes in the contributors team. Many people from the contributors team have stepped back due to changed priorities in their life.
+We are very grateful for all their contributions and hope we will see them back again in the future.
+This is the main reason why it took so long for 1.8 to be fully released. 
+
+Fortunately more people have decided to join the project. Some very nice contributions have been made which will become part of the next 1.9 release.
+We hope that future Mailu releases will be released more quickly now we have more active contributors again.
+
+For a list of all changes refer to `CHANGELOG.md` in the root folder of the Mailu github project. Please read the 'Override location changes' section further on this page. It contains important information for the people who use the overrides folder.
+
+New Functionality & Improvements
+````````````````````````````````
+
+Here’s a short summary of new features:
+
+- Roundcube and Rainloop have been updated.
+- All dependencies have been updated to the latest security update.
+- Fail2ban documentation has been improved.
+- Switch from client side (cookie) sessions to server side sessions.
+- Full-text-search is back after having been disabled for a while due to nasty bugs. It can still be disabled via the mailu.env file.
+- Tons of documentation improvements, especially geared towards new users.
+- (Experimental) support for different architectures, such as ARM.
+- Improvements around webmails, such as CardDAV, GPG and a new skin for an updated roundcube, and support for MySQL for it. Updated Rainloop, too.
+- Improvements around relaying, such as AUTH LOGIN and non-standard port support.
+- Update to alpine:3.14 as baseimage for most containers.
+- Setup warns users about compose-IPv6 deployments which have caused open relays in the past.
+- Improved handling of upper-vs-lowercase aliases and user-addresses.
+- Improved rate-limiting system.
+- Support for SRS.
+- Japanese localisation is now available.
+
+
+Upgrading
+`````````
+
+Upgrade should run fine as long as you generate a new compose or stack
+configuration and upgrade your mailu.env.
+
+Please not that the shipped image for PostgreSQL database is deprecated.
+The shipped image for PostgreSQL is not maintained anymore from release 1.8.
+We recommend switching to an external PostgreSQL image as soon as possible.
+
+Override location changes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you have regenerated the Docker compose and environment files, there are some changes to the configuration overrides.
+Override files are now mounted read-only into the containers. The Dovecot and Postfix overrides are moved in their own sub-directory. If there are local override files, they will need to be moved from ``overrides/`` to ``overrides/dovecot`` and ``overrides/postfix/``.
+
+Update your DNS SPF Records
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+It has become known that the SPF DNS records generated by the admin interface are not completely standard compliant anymore. Please check the DNS records for your domains and compare them to what the new admin-interface instructs you to use. In most cases, this should be a simple copy-paste operation for you ….
+
+Fixed hostname for antispam service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For history to be retained in Rspamd, the antispam container requires a static hostname. When you re-generate your docker-compose.yml file (or helm-chart), this will be covered.
+
+
+Mailu 1.8rc - 2020-10-02
+------------------------
 
 Release 1.8 has come a long way again. Due to corona the project slowed down to a crawl. Fortunately new contributors have joined the team what enabled us to still release Mailu 1.8 this year.
