Latest release doesn't reflect master

[Nathan Kleekamp]

While looking into issue #2447, I noticed that the code in tag 1.8.0 doesn't reflect what is currently in master, even though the diff provided in the 1.8.0 release makes it seem like it should. This is because the diff provided is for 1.7.1 -> master and not 1.7.1 -> 1.8.0.

Would the maintainers be willing to create a new tag from current `master` so everyone can take advantage of the updates in master, in my case, the refactored navigation piece?

Thanks and you all rock!
