The SunPy project is happy to announce the release of SunPy 0.8.0.
SunPy 0.8 is the next major release of SunPy and contains 1442 commits in over 200 pull requests, closing 163 issues from 35 people, 17 of whom have never contributed before.
This release is a large milestone for the SunPy library. It contains large new
features that have been in development for a number of years, and will form the
foundation of SunPy for the future. The main additions are sunpy.net.Fido and
sunpy.timeseries, as well as major upgrades to sunpy.coordinates. Along with
this it deprecates some old parts of SunPy that have been rewritten, two
submodules sunpy.lightcurve and sunpy.wcs have been superseded by
sunpy.timeseries and sunpy.coordinates respectively.

In addition to the code contributions I would like to highlight the work of Nabil Freij who has done a lot of work in the last few months releasing bug fixes for the 0.7 series as well as a lot of behind the scenes work on SunPy's tooling. I would also like to thank Duygu Keşkek who has redesigned the sunpy.org page and the documentation as part of her GSOC project. Finally, I would like to welcome Monica Bobra and Sabrina Savage to the SunPy Board.
