+1.1.8
+===========================
+*04/19/2021*
+
+Graphite 1.1.8 is now available for usage. Please note that this is a bugfix release for the stable Graphite 1.1.x branch and it's recommended for production usage. It also contains some improvements backported from the master branch.
+
+Highlights
+-------------
+* Excessive logging can be disabled (in graphite-web and carbon)
+* Tagging can be disabled if not used in carbon (improves performance)
+* New function `aggregateSeriesLists()` and aliases for `diffSeriesLists()`, `sumSeriesLists()`, `multiplySeriesLists()`
+* Support for Aggregated-Consistent Hash in carbonate
+* Multiple bugfixes, especially for Graphite-web (see full list below)
+
+Thanks a lot for all Graphite contributors and users!
+
