 Platform 0.8
 --------------------------------------
 
-This release focused on the email service. Additionally, almost all the code
-for leap_cli has been moved to leap_platform.
+This release focused on the email service. Debian Jessie is now required,
+which also means that you must migrate all data from BigCouch to CouchDB.
+
+UPGRADING: It is tricky to upgrade the OS and migrate the database. You can
+follow the tutorial here: https://leap.se/en/upgrade-0-8
+
+WARNING: failure to migrate data from BigCouch to CouchDB will cause all user
+accounts to get destroyed.
+
+Other new features:
 
 * It is possible to require invite codes for new users signing up.
 
 * Tapicero has been removed. Now user storage databases are created as needed
   by soledad, and deleted eventually when no longer needed.
 
-* Bigcouch is now officially deprecated. New nodes created with `leap node add
-  services:couchdb` will default to using plain CouchDB.
-  It is highly recommended that you run a single couchdb node.
-  
-
 * Admins can now suspect/enable users and block/enable their ability to send
   and receive email.
