 # Changelog
 
-## HEAD
+## 8.0.0
 
-- **Breaking change:** Drop support for Node 10.
+**No major breaking changes!** We dropped support for Node 10 and 12 -- which you're probably not using. And we swapped out the YAML parser -- which you probably won't notice.
+
+- **Breaking change:** Drop support for Node 10 and 12.
 - **Breaking change:** Use npm package [js-yaml](https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-yaml) to parse YAML instead of npm package [yaml](https://www.npmjs.com/package/yaml).
 - Added: Loader errors now include the path of the file that was tried to be loaded.
