+**tinyplot** v0.8.0 is a feature release. It adds several new plot types
+(hexbin, tile, heatmap, sina), a new `tinyplot.array()` method, substantial
+facet enhancements, new arguments for ordering and labelling categorical
+variables, performance improvements, and many bug fixes. See NEWS.md for the
+full list of changes.
+
+This release includes one minor breaking change: line types now order
+categorical `x` data by factor levels, rather than order of appearance, for
+consistency with other plot types. The old behaviour remains available via
+an explicit argument.
