+## [0.8.0] - 2024-11-04
+
+This release adds support for content provider advertisement and discovery to Kademlia protocol implementation (see libp2p [spec](https://github.com/libp2p/specs/blob/master/kad-dht/README.md#content-provider-advertisement-and-discovery)).

+
+### [Content Provider Advertisement and Discovery](https://github.com/paritytech/litep2p/pull/234)
+
+Litep2p now supports content provider advertisement and discovery through the Kademlia protocol.
+Content providers can publish their records to the network, and other nodes can discover and retrieve these records using the `GET_PROVIDERS` query.
+
+```rust
+    // Start providing a record to the network.
+    // This stores the record in the local provider store and starts advertising it to the network.
+    kad_handle.start_providing(key.clone());
+
+    // Wait for some condition to stop providing...
+
+    // Stop providing a record to the network.
+    // The record is removed from the local provider store and stops advertising it to the network.
+    // Please note that the record will be removed from the network after the TTL expires.
+    kad_provider.stop_providing(key.clone());
+
+    // Retrieve providers for a record from the network.
+    // This returns a query ID that is later producing the result when polling the `Kademlia` instance.
+    let query_id = kad_provider.get_providers(key.clone());
+```
