 Change Log
 ----------
 
+**0.8** (2017-01-29)
+
+- added support for DSMR v3
+- added support for DSMR v5
+
+**IMPORTANT: this release has the following backwards incompatible changes:**
+
+- Removed TelegramParserV2_2 in favor of TelegramParser
+- Removed TelegramParserV4 in favor of TelegramParser
+
 **0.7** (2017-01-14)
 
 - Internal refactoring related to the way clients feed their data into the parse module. Clients can now supply the telegram data in single characters, lines (which was common) or complete telegram strings. (`pull request #17 <https://github.com/ndokter/dsmr_parser/pull/17>`_)
