I installed it and I like the new additions. it is easier and nice, so far it's working fine but I think it's slower with codes running

@RodRecker - this version seems pretty stable. I ran a number of my larger graphs on it and didn't run into any major trouble. A couple of observations:

• Although the README that ships with the 0.8 RC says that the namespace collisions have been taken care of, I am still having some issues with autocomplete (Namespace Collisions with 3rd Party Packages (e.g. Rhynamo) #3208). For people just getting into CBNs this may be confusing behaviour.
• It must have happened somewhere between 0.7.5 and this release candidate, but now there is definitely no more reason to use the screenshot tool any longer (Screenshot tool finally completely unusable #4118). For me this is more than a little nuisance as it means I now cannot document larger graphs any more. I'm just not prepared to take twenty screenshots of a graph and have Photoshop stitch them together. In production, I need the ability to take screenshots of the entire graph. And I can't move to a version that does not do that for me.
• Found some other smaller issues (List.Filter & Empty Lists #4115, Some Revit query nodes return null when input is an empty list #4116 & Categories dropdown fails for several categories #4117) that - after having checked this in 0.7.5, too - seem to have been around for a while.
• 0.7.5 introduced a bug (Dynamo UVs no longer translated into Revit UVs on planar surfaces #3423) that prevents the conversion of Dynamo UV coordinates to Revit UV coordinates - it would be great if this were fixed at some point as it prevents placing panels on planar (and probably also revolved) surfaces in a meaningful way.

Is running fine here, with some issues in search engine (see forum). I was able to publish a custom package update, no issue except a small one: the CN was in edit mode when publishing, then just after it was completed (uploaded), all the wires disappear from my screen. closing CN and reopen fixed it, but was weird looking for a short period of time!

Thank you for the feedback on the 0.8.0 RC. I have just posted a new RC here:
http://dyn-builds-data.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/DynamoReleaseCandidate2Install0.8.0.exe

The main addition was some autocomplete improvements #4060 that we left out of the release by mistake.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. @andydandy74 I realize that we did not respond to all of your issues. I'll make sure that happens.
