+* Add FAQ, concepts, h-rnn docs.
+* Add Bidi-LSTM and DB-LSTM to quick start demo @alvations
+* Add usage track scripts.
+

+* Fix floating-point overflow problem of tanh
+* Fix some nvcc compile options
+* Fix a bug in yield dictionary in DataProvider
+* Fix SRL hang when exit.
+
+# Release v0.8.0beta.1
+New features:

+* Enhance `PyDataProvider2`
+   * Add dictionary yield format. `PyDataProvider2` can yield a dictionary with key is data_layer's name, value is features.
+   * Add `min_pool_size` to control memory pool in provider.
+
+* Add `deb` install package & docker image for no_avx machines.
+   * Especially for cloud computing and virtual machines
+
+* Automatically disable `avx` instructions in cmake when machine's CPU don't support `avx` instructions.
+
+* Add Parallel NN api in trainer_config_helpers.
+
+* Add `travis ci` for Github
+
+Bug fixes:
+
+* Several bugs in trainer_config_helpers. Also complete the unittest for trainer_config_helpers
+* Check if PaddlePaddle is installed when unittest.
