This is a new feature release that includes more than a year's worth of contributions since v0.7.6. The configuration of both repositories and servers has change significantly, and Knowledge Repo administrators are recommended to review these changes as soon as possible. In particular, repository configuration from v0.7.6 and earlier is no longer compatible, and is ignored in v0.8.0+ due to security concerns. If you need to enable compatibility for this configuration during a migration, add required_tooling_version: "!v0.7.6" to a file named .knowledge_repo_config.yml in the root of your repository.
