 # Changelog
 
+* `0.8.1`: delegated the grouping of nested namespaces (see `0.7.0`) to the PlantUML binary, which handles it natively
 * `0.8.0`: added support for union types, and github actions (pre-commit hooks + automated tests)
 * `0.7.2`: added the current working directory to the import path to make py2puml work in any directory or in native virtual environment (not handled by poetry)
 * `0.7.1`: removed obsolete part of documentation: deeply compound types are now well handled (by version `0.7.0`)
