 # Changelog "linux_mint"
 
+## Version 2.8.0 [2024-03-18]
+
+* **BREAKING CHANGES**
+This release tries to resolve long term problems with apt repositories and legacy GPG keys. For a long time ansible module `apt_repository` was used to manage repositories and a separate module `apt_key` to manage keys.
+This approach was not perfect and caused problems with newer Linux Mint releases. This release introduces new approach to add repositories and keys. It uses `deb822` ansible module to add both: repositories and keys. However, this change is breaking and requires manual intervention. Please, read the documentation and follow the instructions to update your system.
+You can expect removal of old repositories from `/etc/apt/sources.list.d\*.list` and replace them with *.sources in deb822 format. As this playbook's role is not to manage outside repositories, you still can have apt refresh failing with a warning - you have to clean these manually (or add them as your own repositories in `deb822` format)
+
+For `custom_repositories` variable now it accepts only deb822 format as in the example below
+
+```yaml
+  - name: google-cloud-sdk
+    types: deb
+    suites: cloud-sdk
+    components: main
+    uris:
+      - "https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt"
+    enabled: true
+    architectures: amd64
+    signed_by: https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg
+```
+
+* **BREAKING_CHANGES**
+With all possible packages available in FLATPAK, this release will try to remove all packages from `packages_optional` and `packages` and moves them to `flatpak`. This change is breaking and requires manual intervention. Please, read the documentation and follow the instructions to update your system.
+You can expect in some cases, config for your application is missing (for example Remmina package). Do not panic, these files are already there, mostly in `~.config` or `~.local/share` directories. You can copy them manually to the new location (`~/.var/app/...`)
+In future releases, I'll try to move all packages to FLATPAK and remove them `per repository` from the playbook.
+This move also forces to remove classic 'repositories` which are no longer required.
+Also, in future releases I'll separate FLATPAK packages to `mandatory` and `optional` to make it easier to manage.
