+## v0.8
+
+### Supported versions of Julia
+- Julia v0.5 onwards are supported; `IntervalBox` on Julia v0.6 is waiting on upstream changes to `StaticArrays` (https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StaticArrays.jl/issues/113)
+
+### Breaking API changes
+- **Only on Julia 0.6**, it is now possible to change the interval rounding type again, using `setrounding(Interval, :fast)`; #220
+
+- Changed `setdisplay` to `setformat`. Added `@format` macro to simplify interface, e.g.
+`@format standard 5 true`; #251
+
+- `mid` is now IEEE-1788 compliant, which changes the behaviour for semi-infinite intervals #253
+
+### Other
+- Changed from using `FixedSizeArrays.jl` to `StaticArrays.jl` for `IntervalBox`;
+this should be invisible to the end user #245
+
+- Fixed a bug in 1D interval Newton;  #254
+
 
 ## v0.7
 
 ### End of support for Julia v0.4
 - v0.7 is the last version to include support for Julia v0.4
 
 ### Breaking API changes
-- Deprecate `displaymode`, replacing it with `setformat`, with simplified syntax #210:
