+== 8.0.0 2025-06-27
+
+Improvements:
+* Added support for retries in the `FFMPEG::Transcoder` class. This allows for more robust command
+  argument composing and thus more stable outputs.
+
+Breaking Changes:
+* The `FFMPEG::Status::ExitError` class has been renamed to `FFMPEG::ExitError`.
+* The `FFMPEG::ExitError` class now holds a reference to the `StringIO` output of the FFmpeg command
+  (before it contained the `String` representation).
