+# SVS 0.0.8 Release Notes
+
+## Additions and Changes
+
+* Addition of 8-bit scalar quantization support to C++ interface
+
+* Introduced multi-vector index and batch iterator support that allows multiple vectors to be mapped to the same external ID
+
+* Automatic ISA dispatching with optimizations based on AVX support
+
+* Enabled compatibility with ARM and MacOS
+
+* Enhanced logging capabilities
+
+* Updated vamana iterator API
+
+* Broader [shared library](https://github.com/intel/ScalableVectorSearch/releases) support:
+
+  * gcc-11+, clang-18+, glibc 2.26+ compatibility
+
+  * Static library provided in addition to .so
+
+  * Intel(R) MKL linked within the shared library - no need for Intel(R) MKL in user environment
