+# Version 8 : Release 2024 August 18th
+
+## V8.2024.08.18
+
+### About
+
+This was a minor update to the template set. The following changes were made:
+
+- [x] `Template-Other` was modified
+- - [x] `Template-GDScript-Other` `Template-AI2001` and `Template-UkraineHistorySimulator-Other` files were removed, as they didn't fit
+- [x] 2 new template branches were created, inheriting changes from above, branches of which include:
+- - [X] `Template-Seanpm2001-WorldDB-ImageVariant` was created, branching out from `Template-Other`
+- - [x] `Template-Seanpm2001-WorldDB-StandardVariant` was created, branching out from `Template-Other`
+
+This release was created on Saturday, August 17th. The power went out as I went to add a 3rd branch, and I had to quit work early. Work was wrapped up on this update today.
+
+This was the first release in over a year. I hope to do more updates soon.
+
+This release wasn't tagged, as I don't feel like tagging releases on this project anymore.
