+0.8.0 (2022-09-01)
+------------------
+* Thorough rework based on franka_description 0.9.1 (using fine and coarse collision models)
+  The internal robot controller uses coarse collision models for self-collision checking.
+  In MoveIt, these coarse models should be used for self-collision checking only as well.
+  Particularly, these coarse models should not be used for collision checking with the environment.
