+What's New In python-apt 0.8
+============================
+Python-apt 0.8 is a new major release of the python bindings for the APT
+package management libraries.
+
+
+Removal of old API
+------------------
+The old API that was deprecated in 0.7.100 is no longer available. Applications
+that have not yet updated to the new API should do so.
+
+Multi-arch support
+------------------
+This version of python-apt introduces multi-arch support:
+
+    * A new class, :class:`apt_pkg.Group` has been added.
+    * :class:`apt_pkg.Cache` can now be indexed by ``(name, architecture)``
+      tuples
+      
+Features for mancoosi
+----------------------
+Several new features related to ordering have been added on request
+of the mancoosi project:
+
+    * A new class :class:`apt_pkg.OrderList` has been added
+    * The :class:`apt_pkg.PackageManager` class now provides new methods
+      for registering install/remove/configure actions which can be
+      subclassed to check ordering.
+
+Other changes
+-------------
+This release of python-apt also features several other, smaller changes:
+
+    * apt_pkg.Cache() now takes None for the progress parameter, preventing
+      progress reporting.
+
+There have been various other changes, see the changelog for a complete list
+of changes.
