Make a 1.8.0 release
I'd like to update waffle in ChromeOS, and to do that I need commit c0d6c008 (landed in May 2022, ~16 months ago).
I see that we have a milestone for 1.8.0 here (%1.8.0 release)
Three of the four remaining issues have been open for >2 years. Do you mind if I rename the milestone to 1.9.0 and push 1.8.0 out the door? It's been 2.5 years and 91 commits since 1.7.0 was released.
