About Zabbix
Zabbix opens the 8.0 cycle with a first release candidate, notes still blank.
Zabbix maintains two parallel stable lines, 7.0 and 7.4, with release candidates landing on the same day each month. On October 1 the first 8.0 release candidate appeared. Every tag in the feed carries only a boilerplate release line, so what changes in 8.0 is not visible here.
