 Release History
 ===============
 
+[Release 3.8.0](https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel/releases/tag/tags%2Fgudhi-release-3.8.0)
+-----------
+
+Release date: April 2023
+
+As a major new feature, the GUDHI library now offers Perslay, a Tensorflow model for the representations module, scikit-learn like interfaces for Cover Complexes, a new function to compute persistence of a function on ℝ and the possibility to build a Cubical Complex as a lower-star filtration from vertices.
+
+We are now using GitHub to develop the GUDHI library, do not hesitate to [fork the GUDHI project on GitHub](https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel). From a user point of view, we recommend to download GUDHI user version (gudhi.3.X.X.tar.gz).
+
+Below is a list of changes made since GUDHI 3.7.1:
+
+- [Perslay](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/representations_tflow_itf_ref.html)
+     - a TensorFlow layer for persistence diagrams representations.
+
+- [Cover Complex](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/cover_complex_sklearn_user.html)
+     - New classes to compute Mapper, Graph Induced complex and Nerves with a scikit-learn like interface.
+
+- [Persistent cohomology](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__persistent__cohomology.html)
+     - New linear-time `compute_persistence_of_function_on_line`, also available though `CubicalPersistence` in Python.
+
+- [Cubical complex](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__cubical__complex.html)
+     - Add possibility to build a lower-star filtration from vertices instead of top-dimensional cubes.
+     - Naming the arguments is now mandatory in CubicalComplex python constructor.
+     - Remove `newshape` mechanism from [CubicalPersistence](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/cubical_complex_sklearn_itf_ref.html)
+
+- [Hera version of Wasserstein distance](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/wasserstein_distance_user.html#hera)
+     - now provides matching in its interface.
+
+- [Subsampling](https://gudhi.inria.fr/doc/latest/group__subsampling.html)
+     - New `choose_n_farthest_points_metric` as a faster alternative of `choose_n_farthest_points`.
+
+- [SimplexTree](https://gudhi.inria.fr/python/latest/simplex_tree_ref.html)
+     - `SimplexTree` can now be used with `pickle`.
+     - new `prune_above_dimension` method.
+
+- Installation
+     - CMake 3.8 is the new minimal standard to compile the library.
+     - Support for oneAPI TBB (instead of deprecated TBB) to take advantage of multicore performance.
+     - [pydata-sphinx-theme](https://pydata-sphinx-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is the new sphinx theme of the python documentation.
+
+- Miscellaneous
+     - The [list of bugs that were solved since GUDHI-3.7.1](https://github.com/GUDHI/gudhi-devel/issues?q=label%3A3.8.0+is%3Aclosed) is available on GitHub.
+
