+# 8.0.0 - 2026-05-13
+
+## Summary
+
+In this major release, several modifications were made to the PTB's workflow templates:
+
+* For automatically resolving vulnerabilities, the `dependency-update.yml` workflow was
+added. For more details, see the [Update Dependencies](https://exasol.github.io/python-toolbox/main/user_guide/features/github_workflows/index.html#update-dependencies) section.
+* The periodic run which was previously executed in the `ci.yml` has been moved to its
+own `periodic-validation.yml` and will run weekly. This also has been modified to
+run the `slow-checks.yml` so that more complete linting and coverage information is
+sent to Sonar.
+* With the addition of `periodic-validation.yml`, the `pr-merge.yml` was reduced so that
+it only executes `gh-pages.yml`.
+* The unit tests job has been moved from `checks.yml` to its own `fast-tests.yml` file.
+* Workflow extensions were added to `fast-tests` and `merge-gate`. This allows users to
+add custom `fast-tests-extension.yml` and `merge-gate-extension.yml` files. For more
+details, check out the [Workflow Extensions](https://exasol.github.io/python-toolbox/main/user_guide/features/github_workflows/index.html#workflow-extensions) section.
+* `slow-checks.yml` is only maintained by the project (not the PTB). See the [Not Maintained by the PTB](https://exasol.github.io/python-toolbox/main/user_guide/features/github_workflows/index.html#not-maintained-by-the-ptb) section.
+
+## Features
+
+* #829: Extended removing a job from a workflow to also remove it from the `needs` of another job
+* #825: Created two workflows by splitting up previous ones:
+   * Moved the periodic jobs in `ci.yml` to its own `periodic-validation.yml`
+   * Moved the unit tests job in `checks.yml` to its own `fast-tests.yml`
+* #730: Added workflow extensions to `fast-tests` and `merge-gate`
+* #756: Added `dependency-update.yml` to automate resolving vulnerabilities with a generated pull request
+* #792: Improved `dependency-update.yml` documentation
+* #831: Switched `slow-checks.yml` to be provided by the project and not maintained by the PTB and improved output of pydantic validation of `.workflow-patcher.yml`
+
+## Bugfix
+
+* #563: Fixed merge-gate to prevent auto-merges from happening when integration tests failed
+
+## Security Issues
+
+This release fixes vulnerabilities by updating dependencies:
+
+| Dependency | Vulnerability | Affected | Fixed in |
