Check out the [NEWS file](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/v1.8.0-rc4/NEWS.md) to see what will be new in 1.8.0. You can also see the list of commits included since 1.8.0-rc3 [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/compare/v1.8.0-rc3...v1.8.0-rc4).

As a release _candidate_, this should **not** be considered production-ready. Rather, it’s intended to give users, especially package developers, a chance to try our their code with 1.8.0 prior to a full release. Note that `1.8` on [Travis](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/julia/), [AppVeyor](https://github.com/JuliaCI/Appveyor.jl), and [Cirrus](https://github.com/ararslan/CirrusCI.jl) now refers to 1.8.0-rc4. On [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia), use `~1.8.0-0`.

Let us know in the [issue tracker](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues) if you run into any issues. Please note that any bugs you may encounter should be posted there rather than being discussed in this thread to ensure visibility to the developers.
