Hi everyone,

I'm excited to announce that after a year of dedicated work, we have successfully completed the GDSFactory 8 release, which is now available.

Thank you all for your continued support and contributions.

Best regards,

Notice: Major Release for gdsfactory8

Notice that the routing and some advanced functions have changed. For a complete list of changes, please refer to our migration guide or review the updated layout tutorial.
