 # Changelog
 
+## 8.0.0 (29-Nov-2024)
+
+* **Breaking change**: rename the `timeouts` config option to `additional_client_opts`. It has the same usage but now enables you to set both client timeouts and override the API host to send requests to.
+
+```ruby
+additional_client_opts: {
+  open_timeout: 100,
+  timeout: 500,
+  api_host: 'http://example.com/api'
+}
+```
+
 ## 7.1.0 (12-Nov-2024)
 
 * Test with Rails 8

To overcome this problem, create a custom Rake task and provide as many importers/exporters as needed:
