+- update to version 0.9.8:
+  * [bug] [runtime] Fixed bug where the Script.as_revision_number()
+    method did not accommodate for the ‘heads’ identifier, which in
+    turn caused the EnvironmentContext.get_head_revisions() and
+    EnvironmentContext.get_revision_argument() methods to be not
+    usable when multiple heads were present. The
+    :meth:.`EnvironmentContext.get_head_revisions` method returns a
+    tuple in all cases as documented. References: #482
+  * [bug] [autogenerate] [postgresql] Fixed bug where autogenerate of
+    ExcludeConstraint would render a raw quoted name for a Column that
+    has case-sensitive characters, which when invoked as an inline
+    member of the Table would produce a stack trace that the quoted
+    name is not found. An incoming Column object is now rendered as
+    sa.column('name'). References: #478
+  * [bug] [autogenerate] Fixed bug where the indexes would not be
+    included in a migration that was dropping the owning table. The
+    fix now will also emit DROP INDEX for the indexes ahead of time,
+    but more importantly will include CREATE INDEX in the downgrade
+    migration. References: #468
+  * [bug] [postgresql] Fixed the autogenerate of the module prefix
+    when rendering the text_type parameter of postgresql.HSTORE, in
+    much the same way that we do for ARRAY’s type and JSON’s
+    text_type. References: #480
+  * [bug] [mysql] Added support for DROP CONSTRAINT to the MySQL
+    Alembic dialect to support MariaDB 10.2 which now has real CHECK
+    constraints. Note this change does not add autogenerate support,
+    only support for op.drop_constraint() to work. References: #479
