This is the Blinker 1.8.0 feature release, which may include new features, remove previously deprecated code, or add new deprecations. The 1.8.x line is now the supported fix branch, support has ended for the 1.7.x line. We encourage everyone to upgrade, and to use a tool such as pip-tools to pin all dependencies and control upgrades. Test with warnings treated as errors to be able to adapt to deprecation warnings early.
