Release Notes:

Release v0.8.0 is deemed backwards and forwards compatible with WAL-E
v0.7 in terms of archival format and interface. Upgrading and
downgrading require no special steps.

Changes and enhancements from the v0.7 series:

Addition of parallel and pipelined WAL recovery

Enabled by default, WAL-E will now perform speculative and parallel
prefetching of WAL when recovering. This is an often a significant
speedup in recovering or catching up databases.

The S3 Server Side Encryption is always set

Because the feature is transparent outside sending a header, this is
not thought to impose any changes.

Support an optinally specified S3 endpoint

This allows use of alternate S3 implementations, such as "radosgw".

Support an optionally specified log destination

Configuring for emitting logs on only stderr is now supported. Also
supported is customizing the syslog facility logged to.
