+## 8.0.0 (2020-08-12)
+
+### Bug fixes
+
+Disallow expressions like `(a = b) = c`.
+
+Make non-octal escape sequences a syntax error in strict mode.
+
+### New features
+
+The package can now be loaded directly as an ECMAScript module in node 13+.
+
+Update to the set of Unicode properties from ES2021.
+
+### Breaking changes
+
+The `ecmaVersion` option is now required. For the moment, omitting it will still work with a warning, but that will change in a future release.
+
+Some changes to method signatures that may be used by plugins.
