We are pleased to announce the release of Cylc 8.0.0!

For information on how to use Cylc 8, see:

- [Installation Guide](https://cylc.github.io/cylc-doc/latest/html/installation.html)
- [Migration Guide](https://cylc.github.io/cylc-doc/latest/html/7-to-8/index.html)

The **new** `cylc lint` tool is useful in highlighting things you will need to change to upgrade Cylc 7 workflows (It also checks workflow configs for style).
