+|RCE| 4.8.0 |RNS|
+-----------------
+
+Release Date
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- 2017-06-30
+
+
+New Features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+- Code Review: added new reviewers logic. This features now is Common Criteria
+  compatible and allows to define Mandatory (non-removable) reviewers.
+  In addition new options were added to forbid adding new reviewers or forbid
+  author of commits or the pull request itself to be a reviewer of the code.
+- Audit logs: introducing new audit logs tracking most important actions in
+  the system. Admins can track important events such as deletion of resources,
+  permissions changes, user groups changes. Each event tracks users with his
+  IP and user agent.
+- Mercurial: enabled evolve extensions. Each repository can be now configured
+  to support evolve, commit phases, and evolve state are also shown in
+  commit and changelog views.
+- VCS: expose newly pushed bookmarks or branches as quick links to open a
+  pull request on client output. Allows easier pull request creation via CLI.
+
+
+General
+^^^^^^^
+
+- Core: ported many views into pure pyramid code with python3.6 compatibility.
+  Now almost 80% of the code is ported, and future ready. It's our ongoing
+  effort to allow support for modern python version.
+- Comments: show author tag in pull request comments to easily
+  discover the author of changes in discussions.
+- Files: allow specifying custom filename for uploaded files via web interface.
+- Pull requests: changed who is allowed to close a pull request. Now it's only
+  super-admin, owner or person who can merge.
+  Before it was every reviewer can close. Which really doesn't make sense.
+- Users: show that user is disabled when editing his properties.
+- Integrations: expose user_id, and username in Webhook integration
+  templates arguments.
+- Integrations: exposed extra repo variables in template arguments of
+  Webhook integration.
+- Login: add link when using external auth to make it easier to login
+  using oauth providers, such as Google or Github.
+- Maintenance: added svn verify command to tasks to be able to verify the
+  filesystem and repo formats from web interface. Allows much easier tracking
+  of incompatible filesystem storage of subversion repositories.
+- Events: expose permalink urls for pull requests, and repositories.
+  Permalink url should provide a non-changeable url that can be used in
+  external system.
+- Svn: increase possibility to specify compatibility to pre 1.9 version.
+
+
+Security
+^^^^^^^^
+
+- security(high): fixed possibility to delete other users inline comments
+  for users who were repository admins.
+- security(med): fixed XSS inside the tooltip for author string.
+- security(med): fixed stored XSS in notifications inbox.
+- security(med): use custom writer for RST rendering to prevent injection of javascript: tags.
+- security(med): escape flash messaged VCS errors to prevent reflected XSS attacks.
+- security(low): use 404 instead of 403 code on permission decorator to
+  prevent brute force resource discovery attacks.
+- security(low): fixed self XSS inside autocomplete files view.
+- security(low): fixed self Xss inside repo strip view.
+- security(low): fixed self Xss inside the email add functionality.
+- security(none): use new safe escaped user attributes across the application.
+  Will prevent all possible XSS attack vectors from user stored attributes.
+  This specially can come from external authentication systems which doesn't
+  validate the data.
+
+
+Performance
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+
+
+Fixes
+^^^^^
+
+- Pull requests: make sure we process comments in the order of IDS when
+  linking them. In some edge cases it could lead to comments not displaying
+  correctly.
+- Emails: fixed newlines in email templates that can break email sending code.
+- Markdown: fixed hr and strong tags styling.
+- Notifications: fixed problem with 500 errors on non-numeric entries in url.
+- API: use simple schema validator to be consistent how we validate between
+  API and web views for create user and create user_group calls.
+- Users: fixed problem with personal repo group wasn't shown for disabled users.
+- Oauth: improve Google extraction of first/last name from returned data.
+
+
+Upgrade notes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+- API: the `update_pull_request` method will no longer support a close action.
+  Users should use the existing `close_pull_request` method which allows
+  specifying a message and status while closing a pull request.
