Release 8.0.0 is in active development, with the goal of supporting much larger data sets, into the 10GB+ range. When officially released 8.0 will support (mostly) seamless upgrades from the 7.x series. However until the official release, upgrades will require backing up your data from any existing 7.x cluster and restoring into a new 8.0 cluster.

**Upgrading from the 7.x release**
When officially released 8.0 will support (mostly) seamless upgrades from the 7.x series. However until the official release you must follow these steps to upgrade from 7.x:
- Backup your data and load it into a new 8.0 system.
- 8.0 always runs with an on-disk database, in-memory databases are no longer supported. If you were previously running in in-memory mode (the default), you don't need to do anything. But if you were previously passing `-on-disk` to `rqlited` so that rqlite ran in on-disk mode, you must now remove that flag.
### Implementation changes and bug fixes
- [PR #1337](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/pull/1337): Store can now load from an io.Reader.
