 ========================
 ODL Parent release notes
 ========================
+
+Version 8.0.1
+-------------
+This is a minor big-fix/enhancement update from verision 8.0.0.
+
+Improvements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+* ``javax.inject`` is now provided by the artifact from `GuicedEE <https://guicedee.com/>`__.
+  This improves things a lot, as it is a proper jar (not MANIFEST.MF warning), it also is
+  a JPMS module, hence can be used for linkage. This dependency is properly ``scope=provided``,
+  so it should not leak into runtimes where it should not be.
+  See `ODLPARENT-247 <https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/ODLPARENT-247>`__ for details.
+
+* Transitive dependencies of Guava are now mostly filtered from runtime, so that we do not
+  require ``wrap`` for them. We still retain checker-qual, as we are actively using those
+  and it is a proper bundle.
+  See `ODLPARENT-248 <https://jira.opendaylight.org/browse/ODLPARENT-248>`__ for details.
