From `BigARTM v0.8.0` and onward the Release Notes are moved into the documentation:
- [Changes in Python API](http://docs.bigartm.org/en/stable/release_notes/python.html)
- [Changes in Protobuf Messages](http://docs.bigartm.org/en/master/release_notes/messages.html)
- [Changes in BigARTM CLI](http://docs.bigartm.org/en/master/release_notes/bigartm_cli.html)
- [Changes in c_interface](http://docs.bigartm.org/en/master/release_notes/c_interface.html)

The main focus for `v0.8.0` release was to perform minor cleanup in the APIs, by renaming methods for better consistency, or moving parameters to where they belong. We also fixed messages.proto to copile with C. The biggest conceptual change is in Python API, where we introduced a new class `Dictionary`. This change however is still very straightforward.

We strongly recommend to review the Release Notes for the APIs that you are using, as it describes all renames and other minor changes that we made in the APIs. If you have any questions, please ask [bigartm-usersgooglegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/forum/!forum/bigartm-users).

- New low-level API `ArtmMasterModel` (`c_interface.h`) gives simpler APIs to infer topic models and apply them to new data
- We've done a major rework around dictionaries. Beware of API breaking changes and format changes!
- Option for static linkage of bigartm CLI on Linux (on by default)
- Option to install BigARTM python interface via `python setup.py install`
- Other fixes and improvements in python API, C++ API and BigARTM CLI.
