+The real ChangeLog is the git log. This is just a summary of the
+user-visible changes between releases.
+
+New in 0.8.0:
+=============
+
+Added this NEWS file :)
+
+Added a new tool: sbodl, which downloads sources and checks md5sums.
+
+sbolint:
+- Suggestions only (not an error/warning) to split python builds into
+  separate python2- and python3- builds, and to use the python2 command
+  rather than plain python (because someday, /usr/bin/python will become
+  a symlink to python3, not python2).
+- Add a bit of color in the output (red errors, green OK, etc).
+- Check TMP= PKG= OUTPUT= assignments.
+- Check for outdated (i386, i486) ARCH and flags.
+- Check for hidden and empty files/directories.
+
+sbopkglint:
+- Add tests for /usr/info.
+- /etc/ld.so.conf.d is not allowed.
+- *-mimetypes.list is now allowed in /usr/share/applications.
+- Broken python modules (named UNKNOWN-*) are now detected.
+
+Thanks to bedlam, fourtysixandtwo, Fonix, lockywolf, timsoft, and
+probably others for the ideas that led to the new features in 0.8.0.
