+- version update to 0.8.0
+  * Adds a `PyWidget` class that can be used as a base class for your high-level
+    widgets. Because it is a PyComponent, this makes it much easier to write apps
+    that fully work in Python (desktop-like apps).
+  * The ``FormLayout`` uses CSS ``grid`` instead of ``<table>``.
+  * A new ``GridLayout`` widget.
+  * A new ``MultiLineEdit`` widget.
+  * Improvements to docs and guide.
+  * Support for freezing Flexx apps to standalone executables (via PyInstaller).
