+* 0.8.0 (gtransfer toolkit):
+
+- New functionality
+
+The (guc) sync level used by gtransfer for transfers can now be selected by
+users. Syncing can also be disabled.
+
+The host aliases can now be retrieved and installed from a file provided
+locally or from a remote repository, just like dpaths and dparams.
+
+Wrappers for uberftp (called gtools) were added that provide shorthand
+functionality to users for common operations on remote GridFTP servers like
+(g)cat, (g)ls, (g)mkdir, (g)mv and (g)rm. All wrappers support host aliases and
+remote directory browsing just like gt.
