+
+JupyterHub 0.8.1 is a collection of bugfixes and small improvements on 0.8.
+
+#### Added
+
+- Run tornado with AsyncIO by default
+- Add `jupyterhub --upgrade-db` flag for automatically upgrading the database as part of startup.
+  This is useful for cases where manually running `jupyterhub upgrade-db`
+  as a separate step is unwieldy.
+- Avoid creating backups of the database when no changes are to be made by
+  `jupyterhub upgrade-db`.
+
+#### Fixed
+
+- Add some further validation to usernames - `/` is not allowed in usernames.
+- Fix empty logout page when using auto_login
+- Fix autofill of username field in default login form.
+- Fix listing of users on the admin page who have not yet started their server.
+- Fix ever-growing traceback when re-raising Exceptions from spawn failures.
