Changes in version 0.8.0.9000                      

The update is a patch on top of v0.8.0 to cover the following critical
issues:

  - Tests fail on MacOS (#905)
  - Module server won't start right after data model migration to YAML
    config (#909)

    environment variable (#911)

                        Changes in version 0.8.0                        

The revision is an extensive review of the package functions & core
concepts. It introduced a YAML config instead of the old data.model as
well as package grammar. A new Admin Console has been delivered. Also
many core & performance improvements have been delivered.
