+## VERSION 2.8.0
+
+Version 2.8 contains important security updates and the following new featuers:
+
+- NEW It is now possible create users one at a time, with or without inviting them.
+- NEW When creating tickets by API, you can now specify the CC and BCC for the new ticket.
+- NEW A new API for viewing and editing taggings has been added (thanks @schmidt)
+- NEW A honeypot (anti spam) feature was added to the new ticket form (thanks @schmidt)
+- CHANGE Assigning an agent no longer automatically marks the ticket as "pending".
+- CHANGE The whitelist of allowable file attachments has been significantly changed and made more flexible (see upgrade notes below).
+- FIX A bug was fixed that displays the proper error message when a non supported file attachment is made in the web UI
+- FIX #1576 The right menu no longer gets stuck open when turbolinks is enabled
+- FIX #1581 Radio buttons are now properly aligned in the mobile responsive view of the Singular theme
+
+IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTES:
+
+This release of Helpy includes a change to the way file attachments are handled.  Previous
+versions used a default "whitelist" of file types where were allowed and was generally limited to
+the most common image and doc foramts.
+
+This version adds configuration settings which can be modified by API that allow you to set your own
+whitelist of filetypes which should be allowed, or a blacklist of filetypes that should be rejected.  In
+addition, the default whitelist has been removed, and Helpy now ships with a short blacklist of files that could be 
+considered "risky."  Files with these extensions are blacklisted by default:
+
+```
+ade, adp, apk, appx, appxbundle, bat, cab, chm, cmd, com, cpl, dll, dmg, exe, hta, ins, isp, iso, jar, js, jse, lib, 
+lnk, mde, msc, msi, msix, msixbundle, msp, mst, nsh, pif, ps1, scr, sct, .shb, sys, vb, vbe, vbs, vxd, wsc, wsf, wsh
+```
+
+NOTE:  Do not provide values for both blacklist and whitelist, as they will conflict and it will be impossible for
+customers to attach files.
+
+
