+Dear CrystFEL users and interested crystallographers,
+
+An early Christmas present for you all, as CrystFEL version 0.8.0 has been
+released.
+
+This new version adds a powerful new indexing algorithm, more stable B-factors
+when merging and rejection of rogue patterns via "delta CChalf".  Besides those,
+there are several other exciting features such as an option to wait for files
+to appear on disk (useful for certain automated processing environments).
+In addition, the pixelmap creation utility (make_pixelmap) has become a core
+CrystFEL program with this release.
+
+Note that the build system has changed from GNU autotools ("./configure") to
+CMake.  The README file has instructions for how to compile and install.
+
+See the release notes for more discussion of these improvements, and the
+ChangeLog for full details of the other improvements.
+
+Thanks for all of your past and future feedback and contributions, and
+your continued use of CrystFEL.  As ever, please contact me directly if
+you would prefer to be unsubscribed from this mailing list.
