+8.0.0 Release Notes
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+*March 1st 2021*
+
+With the release of PROJ 8 the ``proj_api.h`` API is finally removed. See
+:ref:`API_migration` for more info on how to migrate from the old to the
+``proj.h`` API.
+
+With the removal of ``proj_api.h`` it has been possible to simplify error codes
+and messages given by the software. The error codes are exposed in the API.
+
+Several improvements has been made to the command line utilities as well as
+tweaks in the underlying API.
+

+  are looked for. C API function :c:func:`proj_create_crs_to_crs_from_pj()` updated
+  accordingly (`#2477 <https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/2477>`_)
+
+* Error codes revised and exposed in the public API (`#2487 <https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/2487>`_)
+
+* Added ``--accuracy`` options to :program:`projinfo`. C API function
