+
+===========================
+|hpx| V1.8.1 (Jul 18, 2022)
+===========================
+
+This is a bugfix release with a few minor additions and resolved problems.
+
+General changes
+===============
+
+This patch release add a number of small new features and fixes a handful of
+problems discovered since the last release, in particular:
+
+- A lot of work has been done to improve vectorization support for our parallel
+  algorithms. HPX now supports using |eve| as a vectorization backend.
+- Added a simple average power consumption performance counter.
+- Added performance counters related to the use of zero-copy chunks in the
+  networking layer.
+- More work was done towards full compatibility with the sender/receivers
+  proposal |p2300|.
+- Fixed collective operations to properly avoid overalapping consecutive
+  operations on the same communicator.
+- Simplified the implementation of our execution policies and added mapping
+  functions between those.
+- Fixed performance issues with our implementation of `small_vector`.
+- Serialization now works with buffers of unsigned characters.
+- Fixing dangling reference in serialization of non-default constructible types
+- Fixed static linking on Windows.
+- Fixed support for M1/MacOS based architectures.
+- Fixed support for gentoo/musl.
+- Fixed `hpx::counting_semaphore_var`.
+- Properly check start and end bounds for `hpx::for_loop`
+- A lot of changes and fixes to the documentation (see
+  https://hpx-docs.stellar-group.org).
