+Notes (0.8.0):
+
+- This mostly a maintenance release with some bug fixes,
+  dependency updates and a few smaller features.
+- Since GitHub Actions is retiring its MacOS x86-64 runners
+  python-flint 0.8.0 is likely the last release to provide
+  prebuilt wheels for MacOS x86-64 (MacOS arm64 remains
+  fully supported). It is likely that future versions will
+  still work fine on MacOS x86-64 but would require building
+  from source and will not be tested in python-flint's CI.
+  MacOS arm64 wheels will still be provided and tested.
