+## v0.8.4 - 2017-03-14 - It's been too long
+
+Lots of updates based on our internal use, needs, and feedback & suggestions
+from our OSS users. There's too much to list out since the previous release was
+cut, but I'll try to cover the highlights/important bits and promise to do
+better in the future :fingers_crossed:
+
+#### Major:
+
+* Complete rework of record validation with lenient mode support added to
+  octodns-dump so that data with validation problems can be dumped to config
+  files as a starting point. octoDNS now also ignores validation errors when
+  pulling the current state from a provider before planning changes. In both
+  cases this is best effort.
+* Naming of record keys are based on RFC-1035 and friends, previous names have
+  been kept for backwards compatibility until the 1.0 release.
+* Provider record type support is now explicit, i.e. opt-in, rather than
+  opt-out. This prevents bugs/oversights in record handling where providers
+  don't support (new) record types and didn't correctly ignore them.
+* ALIAS support for DNSimple, Dyn, NS1, PowerDNS
+* Ignored record support added, `octodns:\n  ignored: True`
+* Ns1Provider added
+
+#### Miscellaneous
+
+* Use a 3rd party lib for nautrual sorting of keys, rather than my old
+  implementation. Sorting can be disabled in the YamlProvider with
+  `enforce_order: False`.
+* Semi-colon/escaping fixes and improvements.
+* Meta record support, `TXT octodns-meta.<zone>`. For now just 
+  `provider=<provider-id>`. Optionally turned on with `include_meta` manager
+  config val.
+* Validations check for CNAMEs co-existing with other records and error out if
+  found. Was a common mistaken/unknown issue and this surfaces the problem
+  early.
+* Sizeable refactor in the way Route53 record translation works to make it
+  cleaner/less hacky
+* Lots of docs type-o fixes
+* Fixed some pretty major bugs in DnsimpleProvider
+* Relax UnsafePlan checks a bit, more to come here
+* Set User-Agent header on Dyn health checks
