v8.0.0

This is a major release as this will be the first release shipping with the new centroid-based classifier. Massive thanks to @smola for adding this improvement.

This release will also see the default branch of this repo change from master to main. This won't affect any current PRs and the Codespaces dev env should continue to work as before.

If you're working off a local clone of this repo, you can update your refs for the new name as follows:

$ cd linguist
$ git fetch origin
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
