Release 8.1 does not contain any breaking changes.

This release introduces two new procedures to replace existing procedures. Repatriation Request replaces NAGPRA Claim. Object Exit (new) and Deaccession replace Object Exit (legacy). We will continue to support the legacy procedures in this release. It is recommended that any new adopters, or those without existing data, remove access via permissions to the legacy procedures (link for instructions on how to do this).
