 # Changelog
 
+## v8.0.0 (2026-01-28)
+
+Simple Commerce has been replaced by [Cargo](https://builtwithcargo.dev), the natural evolution of Simple Commerce. It takes everything you love about Simple Commerce and makes it better in every possible way. Some of the big changes include:
+
+* **A complete re-working of carts & orders** to ultimately make things faster and more reliable.
+* **A redesigned Control Panel UI**, ensuring your admins can get what they need at a glance.
+* **A massive overhaul to discounting**, allowing for automatic site-wide discounts, as well as traditional coupon-style discounts.
+* **Pre-built Checkout Page**, allowing you to level up your customer's purchasing experience.
+
+Simple Commerce v8 is the last major version of Simple Commerce, giving you time to migrate to Cargo. You should read the [upgrade guide](https://github.com/duncanmcclean/simple-commerce/blob/main/docs/upgrade-guides/v7-to-v8.md) before upgrading, in case you need to make any manual changes.
