+# NEXT — v0.9
+
+This release is a large re-write of the previous code base. Despite being
+relatively similar to v0.8 feature-wise, this release marks the beginning of our
+new user interface and continues to improve the overall performance. It also
+features the following improvements:
+
+* A new user account system, including the possibility to reset a forgotten
+  password, to change the password, or to enable email confirmation (all of
+  which were previously impossible);
+* Avatar customization, including the possibility to upload images and to choose
+  one from gravatar or the user initials;
+* Keyboard navigation, including a list of available keyboard shortcuts visible
+  by pressing `?`;
+* The possibility to restore archived boards, lists, and cards.
+
+Starting from this release we will also distribute official docker images on
+both the
+[GitHub release page](https://github.com/libreboard/libreboard/releases)
+and on the
+[DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/mquandalle/libreboard].
+
+New languages supported: Chinese, Finnish, Spanish, Korean, and Russian.
+
+# v0.8
+
+This release continues the implementation of basic features of a “kanban”
+software, especially:
+
+* Basic card attachments. If the attached file is an image we generate and
+  displayed a thumbnail that can be used as a card “cover” (visible in the board
+  general view);
+* User names mentions and auto-completion in card description and comments
+  (though we don’t have any notification system for now, making this feature a
+  less useful that it should);
+* Filter views, current filtering options are based on labels and assigned
+  members;
+* Labels creation and suppression at the board level (previously we had a fixed
+  list of labels);
+* Customization of the board background color.
+
+This release is also the first one to introduce localization of the user
+interface.
+
+New languages supported: French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, and Turkish.
+
+# v0.7.1
+
+This release fixes the following bugs:
+
+* Unexpected lost of the card sorting on the server side;
+* Fix a bug during board creation;
+* Focus the new list form if the board is empty.
+
+# v0.7
+
+This release starts the transition from a toy project to something useful. Along
+with some security and performance improvements (for instance, opening a card
+used to take a long time because it was re-generated the entire DOM whereas only
+the popover was new). New features includes:
+
+* Add and remove labels to cards;
+* Assign and unassign members to cards;
+* Archive cards (though restoration is not yet possible);
+* Board stars;
+* Markdown and emojies support in comments and card description;
+* Emojies auto-completion in the text editor;
+* Some keyboard shortcuts (eg `Ctrl`+`Enter` to submit a multi-line input).
+
+We also introduced basic support for the [Sandstorm](https://sandstorm.io)
+platform, and distribute a `spk` (Sandstorm PacKage) for this release and
+subsequent.
