On behalf of the Nikola team, I am pleased to announce the immediate
availability of Nikola v7.8.15 and v8.0.0b1.

Nikola v7.8.15 is the last v7 maintenance release with a few more bug fix=
es.

Nikola v8.0.0b1 (Beta 1) is the first test release of the v8 series.
The v8 series adds a ton of new features and fixes bugs, while also
breaking backwards compatibility.

What is Nikola?
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

Nikola is a static site and blog generator, written in Python.
It can use Mako and Jinja2 templates, and input in many popular markup
formats, such as reStructuredText and Markdown =E2=80=94 and can even tur=
n
Jupyter (IPython) Notebooks into blog posts! It also supports image
galleries, and is multilingual. Nikola is flexible, and page builds
are extremely fast, courtesy of doit (which is rebuilding only what
has been changed).

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

  (Issues #2956 and #3073)

  says it does (Issue #3024)

  ``bar`` function to ``breadcrumbs`` (your templates may need
  changing as well)

  requires ``USE_REST_DOCINFO_METADATA`` now (Issue #2987)
