--- Haddock 2.7.0
+-- Haddock 2.8.0
 --------------------------------------------
 
 A new version of Haddock, the Haskell documentation tool, is out!
 
+The biggest news this time is that we have a shiny new XHTML backend, created
+by Mark Lentczner, which outputs semantically correct XHTML, making it much
+easier to create new themes for Haddock.
+
+Mark has made an extraordinary effort by going through and rewriting the old
+table based HTML backend, fixing non-standards-compliant quirks, and adding a
+bunch of new useful features on top of that. See the changelog for more
+details.
+
+Included is a new default CSS theme created by Thomas Schilling, Mark and Johan
+Tibell, as well as the classic theme converted to work with the new backend.
+
+Another great new feature is markup support for examples, contributed by Simon
+Hengel. The idea is to be able to write examples that function both as
+documentation and unit tests.
+
+Last but not least, we now also have a LaTeX backend. It was written by Simon
+Marlow and it was used to generate the libraries section of the Haskell 2010
+report.

--- Changes in version 2.7.0
+-- Changes in version 2.8.0
 --------------------------------------------
 
-  * Instances can be commented
+  * HTML backend completely rewritten to generate semantically rich XHTML
+    using the xhtml package.
+
+  * New default CSS based on the color scheme chosen for the new Haskell
+    wiki, with a pull-out tab for the synopsis.
+
+  * Theme engine based on CSS files. Themes can be switched from the
+    header menu. (New flags --built-in-themes and --theme. The latter
+    is an alias for --css which now has extended semantics).
+
+  * Markup support for executable examples/unit-tests. To be used with an
+    upcoming version of the DocTest program.
+
+  * Addition of a LaTeX backend.
+
+  * Frames-mode can be turned on/off from the header menu.
+
+  * Path to source entities can be specified per package, so that source
+    links work for cross-package documentation.
+
+  * Support for a second form of enumerated lists (1. 2. etc).
+
+  * Additions and changes to the Haddock API.
 
-  * The Haddock API now exposes more of the internals of Haddock
+  * New flag --no-tmp-comp-dir to tell Haddock to read/write
+    compilation files (.o, .hi, etc) to/from GHC's output directory instead of
+    to/from a temporary directory.
 
-  * Bug fixes (most importantly #128)
+  * Various bug fixes.
