+{productname} {release-version} includes the following changes:
+
+=== Enhanced license key system with T8LK prefix
+
+The license key system in {productname} 8 has been enhanced to provide improved subscription access control and streamlined renewal processes. All commercial license keys for self-hosted deployments now require the `T8LK:` prefix to indicate version 8 compatibility.
+
+Key changes include:
+
+* All commercial license keys must start with `"T8LK:"` prefix
+* Enhanced JWT-based validation that runs entirely in the browser
+* No server communication or "phone home" checks required
+* Support for both date-based and version-locked keys
+* Streamlined hybrid deployment configuration
+* Improved support for air-gapped and offline environments
+
+[IMPORTANT]
+====
+* GPL usage still requires setting `license_key: 'gpl'` (case insensitive)
+* For open source projects using premium features, use the combined format: `license_key: 'GPL+T8LK:your-license-key'`
+* The license key is not required when using {cloudname} with an API key
+====
+
+For more information on the new license key system, see: xref:license-key.adoc[License Key].
