New release channels:

From now on you can use @v8 instead of manually pinning to a version like 8.0.0.

The benefit of using v8 is that you will receive future MINOR+PATCH updates automatically, since v8 is a pointer to 8.x.x.

However, of course you are free to use the regular format like 8.0.0 directly.
