+- update to 0.8.1:
+  - Previous attempts to sanitize cassette names were incomplete.
+    Sanitization has become more thorough which could have some affects on
+    existing cassette files. **This may cause new cassettes to be generated.**
+  - Fix bug where there may be an exception raised in a
+    ``betamax.exceptions.BetamaxError`` repr.
+- Use %license macro
