Dear Pythonistas and Solar Energy enthusiasts,

I am very happy to announce a new, major release of pvlib python, for
simulating the performance of photovoltaic solar energy systems.

*See what's new for v0.8.0:*
* https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whatsnew.html

*Releases are available from the CheeseShop and the conda-forge channel:*
* https://pypi.org/project/pvlib/
* https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pvlib-python

*Read the Documentation:*
* https://pvlib-python.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

*Report issues & contribute:*
* https://github.com/pvlib/pvlib-python

*Highlights:*
* Because this is a major release, there are many breaking changes so
please read through the release notes carefully before updating
* Python-3.5 is no longer supported, SciPy-1.2.0 is now a required
dependency, and the Pandas minimum version is now v0.22.0
* New functions for calculation of sky-diffuse irradiance, fitting PV
module IV-curve traces to single-diode model coefficients, and
accommodating terrain slope when backtracking.
* Many new contributors, bug fixes, and improvements in the documentation.
* Also coming soon, AirSpeed Velocity benchmarks. Stay tuned!

*The development team thanks you for using pvlib python!*
