+## 8.0.0 - 2016-08-23
+
+This release contains a bunch of goodies, including new rules that catch potential
+programmer errors (i.e. bugs) and enforce additional code consistency.
+
+However, the best feature is surely the new `--fix` command line flag to
+automatically fix problems. If you ever used
+[`standard-format`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/standard-format)
+and ran into issues with the lack of ES2015+ support, you'll be happy about
+`--fix`.
+
+`standard --fix` is built into `standard` v8.0.0 for maximum convenience, it
+supports ES2015, and it's lightweight (no additional dependencies since it's part
+of ESLint which powers `standard`). Lots of problems are already fixable, and more
+are getting added with each ESLint release.
+
+`standard` also outputs a message ("Run `standard --fix` to automatically fix
+some problems.") when it detects problems that can be fixed automatically so you
+can save time!
+
+With `standard` v8.0.0, we are also dropping support for Node.js versions prior to
+4. Node.js 0.10 and 0.12 are in maintenance mode and will be unsupported at the end
+of 2016. Node.js 4 is the current LTS version. If you are using an older version of
+Node.js, we recommend upgrading to at least Node.js 4 as soon as possible. If you
+are unable to upgrade to Node.js 4 or higher, then we recommend continuing to use
+`standard` v7.x until you are ready to upgrade Node.js.
+
+**Important:** We will not be updating the `standard` v7.x versions going forward.
+All bug fixes and enhancements will land in `standard` v8.x.
+
+Full changelog below. Cheers!
