 # Change Log
 
-## [Unreleased] \(0.7.0\) - unnamed [v7]
+## [Unreleased] \(0.8.0\) - unnamed [v8]
+
+## [0.7.0] - Extension Modules, Snapshots, Artifacts [v7]
+
+The release includes extension modules, support for snapshot writing, and major
+fixes for concurrency issues. The update to to GraalVM 19 should eventually
+bring Windows support.
