-SHIELD v8 is a marked improvement over previous version of SHIELD.
-
-# New Features
-
-  - *Multi-Tenancy* - SHIELD now supports the notion of tenants, which allow
-    site operators to group their users logically, and sequester teams from
-    one another.  Each tenant has its own set of jobs, tasks, archives,
-    etc., and members of one tenant cannot interact with the resources of
-    another.  Users can be assigned to multiple tenants, concurrently.
-
-  - *Archive Encryption* - SHIELD now leverages AES-256 encryption when
-    storing backup archives in cloud storage, making sure that your data is
-    secure, even at-rest.
-
-  - *Agent Registration* - SHIELD Agents now register with the SHIELD Core,
-    and provide metadata to assist operators in the configuration of backup
-    targets, and cloud storage systems.
-
-  - *Improved Web UI* - SHIELD's web-based user interface got a massive
-    overhaul in this release, with a concerted focus on efficiency and
-    ease-of-use for operators, and their immediate concerns.
-
-  - *New CLI* - The SHIELD CLI has been rewritten from the ground-up to
-    interface more cleanly with the SHIELD v8 API.  It handles plugin
-    configuration more naturally, without forcing you to write proper JSON.
-    Yay.  It also supports a new `import` function that makes it easy to
-    ensure that your target and storage systems, jobs, retention policies,
-    etc. are always correct.
-
-  - *Improved Scheduling* - Backup Jobs can now be run every X hours, much
-    to the delight of SHIELD users everywhere.
