+Version 0.8.0
+-------------
+
+This version is a major derivation from previous versions. When 
+I started with this library it was implemented by using a separate
+os level thread per connection. At the time this was the only way
+to use functions in C which take longer to process than 1ms. 
+A lot has changed since then. The VM now has dirty schedulers 
+which make it possible to remove the thread per connection.
+This makes it possible to open a lot more connections. On the
+SQLite side some things have also changed. Extended error codes,
+introspection into the internals. This release modernizes the
+integration. In some places the API is no longer compatible and
+will require small changes.
