+## sw360-8.0.0-M1
+
+It is not really that we like to ignore minor releases, but release 8 is coming because:
+
+* changes in the DB for external id handling, pls see migration script: `scripts/migrations/016_update_byExternalIds_component_view.py`
+* changes in the Thrift API, allowing for SPDX BOM import pls see: `libraries/lib-datahandler/src/main/thrift/projects.thrift`
+
+And as a larger, very important feature, there is the SPDX BOM import there in a first version, adding two modes:
+
+* Import a project with linked releases from a SPDX BOM file
+* Import a list of components and releases from a SPDX BOM file
+
+Moreover a very important feature or fix has been provided for ensuring that malformed REST requests do not lead to failure in the application. Previously, providing wrong typed references (for example: linking releases to a project) was accepted by the application and can lead to malfunction then. The following list lists the detailed changes since 7.0.1:
+
+### New Features
+
+* `712ba79` feat(rest): validate the linked document ids in the payload before updating it in the DB

+* `24999ce` feat(AddProjectReleaseRelation): add a project release relation for source code snippets

 ## sw360-7.0.1-M1
 
 After tagging 7.0.0, we found two bugs to be corrected to provide a sound SW360. Therefore, here a new tagged version of sw360. Everyone should use 7.0.1-M1 instead of 7.0.0.
