This is full release of 8.0 version of VOLTTRON. This incorporates community feedback from the release candidate as well as new contributions and features.

⦁ Added a video tutorial for historian framework that walks through historian features and installation process (https://volttron.readthedocs.io/en/develop/, https://volttron.readthedocs.io/en/develop/agent-framework/historian-agents/historian-framework.html?highlight=video#historian-video-tutorial)

⦁ Improved VOLTTRON test framework for automated unit and integration tests

⦁ Fix for critical issue pertaining to non-start of VOLTTRON platform (zmq/rmq) without installation of RabbitMQ server (Issue #2596)
⦁ Fix for MQTT Historian to capture custom topics and store as single data element (Issue #2638)
⦁ Fix for Historians to detect data with invalid date and time and store in alternate datastore to be investigated later (Issue #2444)

Known Issues:
⦁ SSL handshake error is observed in the volttron log when remote authentication request (either from zmq/rmq instance) is observed in admin webpage. The approval, denial, deletion process goes through fine. A github issue has been raised to track the problem (#2594)
