+## [0.8.0] - 2025-05-28
+### Changed
+- Comprehensive tests for HTTP Range Requests over deserialized UnixFS files have been added. The `--specs path-gateway` now requires support for at least single-range requests. Deserialized range-requests can be skipped with `--skip 'TestGatewayUnixFSFileRanges'` [#213](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/213)
+- Updated dependencies [#236](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/236) & [#239](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/239)
+
 ## [0.7.1] - 2025-01-03
 ### Changed
 - Expect all URL escapes to use uppercase hex [#232](https://github.com/ipfs/gateway-conformance/pull/232)
