+Version 0.8
+===========
+
+Main changes:
+-------------
+
+* `Browser` and `StatefulBrowser` can now be configured to raise a
+  `LinkNotFound` exception when encountering a 404 Not Found error.
+  This is activated by passing `raise_on_404=True` to the constructor.
+  It is disabled by default for backward compatibility, but is highly
+  recommanded.
+
+* `Browser` now has a `__del__` method that closes the current session
+  when the object is deleted.
+
+* A `Link` object can now be passed to `follow_link`.
+
+* The user agent can now be customized. The default includes
+  `MechanicalSoup` and its version.
+
+* There is now a direct interface to the cookiejar in `*Browser`
+  classes (`(set|get)_cookiejar` methods).
+
+Bug fixes:
+----------
+
+* We used to crash on forms without action="..." fields.
+
+* The `choose_submit` method has been fixed, and the `btnName`
+  argument of `StatefulBrowser.submit_selected` is now a shortcut for
+  using `choose_submit`.
+
+* Arguments to `open_relative` were not properly forwarded.
+
+Internal changes:
+-----------------
+
+* The testsuite has been greatly improved. It now uses the pytest API
+  (not only the `pytest` launcher) for more concise code.
+
+* The coverage of the testsuite is now measured with codecov.io. The
+  results can be viewed on:
+  https://codecov.io/gh/hickford/MechanicalSoup
+
+* We now have a requires.io badge to help us tracking issues with
+  dependencies. The report can be viewed on:
+  https://requires.io/github/hickford/MechanicalSoup/requirements/
+
+* The version number now appears in a single place in the source code.
+
