This release is the final version of Garage v0.8.0.

Most changes have already been listed in the release notes of v0.8.0 RC1 and
RC2. Here are the main highlights of v0.8.0 compared to v0.7.3:

- LMDB is now officially supported as an alternative database engine to replace Sled

- Bucket size monitoring and quotas

- Our experimental K2V API is included in release builds (though not activated if you haven't configured it)

- Many improvements to background maintenance tasks, including scheduled automatic scrub of the data store

- Significant performance improvements

The following has changed since RC2:

- Many documentation updates

- OpenAPI specification of the Admin API (see <https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/api/garage-admin-v0.html> for a rendered version)

- Show a backtrace and a nice message when Garage panics

- Added an experimental `garage bucket cleanup-unfinished-uploads` command to help remove unfinished multipart uploads when they take too much space.

There is **one known bug** for this release:

- [#414](https://git.deuxfleurs.fr/Deuxfleurs/garage/issues/414): Panic during application of new cluster layout in 0.8.0-rc1. *Please comment on the issue if you also had it, so that we know this is not an isolated case.*

Thanks to all of the contributors that have participated in this new version since v0.7.3: Alex, chemicstry, Jakub Jirutka, Maximilien, Quentin, Simon C, Tobias Krischer, Zorun.
