+
+**Major API Changes**
+
+- Settings unification - most bears have seen API changes. Settings' names
+  are now consistent across bears. This supports backwards
+  compatibility, however (but with a deprecation notice). You can find the
+  whole list `here <http://dpaste.com/3EP5GCV>`_.
+
+**New Features**
+
+- Bear upload tool - this is a part of the complete decentralization of
+  bears. With this tool, bears are uploaded as individual packages to PyPI
+  and just the necessary bears (and their dependencies) can be installed.
+
+- Also as a part of the decentralization process, several bears now have
+  the ``REQUIREMENTS`` attribute. This is one of the requirement objects
+  supporting various package managers such as ``apt-get``, ``dnf``,
+  ``yum``, ``pip``, ``npm``, ``gem``, and so on. To learn more, please
+  see the ``coala`` `0.8.0 release changelog <https://github.com/coala-analyzer/coala/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES.rst>`__.
+
+- Several bears now support the ``ASCIINEMA_URL`` attribute. This contains
+  an URL to an asciinema video displaying the bear's working.
+
+**Bug Fixes**
+
+- An issue in ``FilenameBear`` involving files with fully capitalized names
+  has been resolved. `Pull #687 <https://github.com/coala-analyzer/coala-bears/pull/687>`_
+
+- Various corner cases with ``InvalidLinkBear`` involving some false positives
+  and false negatives have been fixed.
+  `Issue #691 <https://github.com/coala-analyzer/coala-bears/issues/691>`_
+
+**Documentation**
+
+- A complete overhaul of the README page with a special emphasis on design
+  and user-friendliness.
+
+**Regressions**
+
+- Python 3.3 support was dropped.
