+- Update to 1.8.0:
+  * fix issue with setuptools wrong version warnings being printed to standard
+    out. User is informed now by distutils-warnings.
+  * restructure root finding, we now reliably ignore outer scm
+    and prefer PKG-INFO over scm, fixes #43 and #45
+  * correct the url to github
+    thanks David Szotten
+  * enhance scm not found errors with a note on git tarballs
+    thanks Markus
+  * add support for :code:`write_to_template`
