Branch current master as 0.8 and "revert" master back to 0.7

Attn: @EmiteGWT/collaborators

@xose did some brilliant work which I merged into master, but unfortunately the changes were too extensive, and we haven't had enough resource (I originally had hoped we would have) to get the tests and hablar (and other downstream projects) working against the new version.

It doesn't look like anyone is using the current master version (0.8 - with xose's changes) so I'm proposing to branch the current master (with xose's changes) as a 0.8 branch (just in case anyone is actually using it), revert the current master back to 0.7, merge in our updates from the surevine/emite branch (which is based off the 0.7 branch) and then over time cherry pick updates from xose's commits in more bitesize chunks, but keeping the tests and hablar updated alongside.

Would anyone have an issue with this?
