 # Changelog
 
-# [Unreleased]
+# 0.8.0
+
+## Added 
+
+- Multi-cursor support in Block Mode, thanks [@CB2Moon](https://github.com/selfint/code-blocks/pull/188)!
+
+  ![example](./assets/examples/Block_Mode_-_Move_-_Rust_-_Match_arms.gif)
+
+- `toml` and `xml` support, thanks [@sanarise](https://github.com/selfint/code-blocks/pull/186)!
+
+- `sql` and `latex` support using [@derekstride/tree-sitter-sql](https://github.com/DerekStride/tree-sitter-sql) and [@derekstride/tree-sitter-sql](https://github.com/latex-lsp/tree-sitter-latex).
+
+- ESM-based parser loading for parsers like CSS ([#191](https://github.com/selfint/code-blocks/issues/191)).
+
+- 'Remove' option to notification when parser fails to load ([#180](https://github.com/selfint/code-blocks/issues/180)).
+
+- More languages are now tested in advance: TOML, XML, CSS, Zig, Swift, SQL, LaTeX.
 
 ## Fixed
 
-- Add 'Remove' option to notification if local parser installation fails to load.
+- Parser build method ([[#193](https://github.com/selfint/code-blocks/issues/193)]), now uses `node-gyp` instead of `tree-sitter-cli`.
+
+## Deprecated
+
+- Support for `node` v18, it might still work, but the extension now requires `node` v20+.
+
+## Removed
+
+- `codeBlocks.treeSitterCliPath` configuration: The Extension now only requires `npm`.
