# Overview
This page contains the list of deprecations and important or breaking changes
for Vault 1.8.0 compared to 1.7. Please read it carefully.
## License Enhancements
Licenses and EULA enhancements have been introduced in the Vault 1.8 release.
These changes are important for Enterprise customers to review. They do not affect
OSS users. Please see the [License](/docs/enterprise/license) documentation for more details.
## Deprecations
The following API endpoints have been deprecated and will be removed in a future release:
* `sys/license` to manage licenses in storage; it is recommended to use
[License Autoloading](/docs/enterprise/license/autoloading) instead.
* `/gcp/token/:roleset` and `/gcp/key/:roleset` paths for generating secrets for rolesets
in GCP Secrets. Use `/gcp/roleset/:roleset/token` and `/gcp/roleset/:roleset/key` instead.
## Go Version
Vault 1.8.0 is built with Go 1.16. Please review the [Go Release
Notes](https://golang.org/doc/go1.16) for full details. Of particular note:
- Go 1.16 has added support for darwin/arm64. Vault binaries for this platform are
now available supporting the Apple M1 CPU.

## Known Issues
- Vault Enterprise binaries for `arm64` architectures will crash immediately when using production-ready storage backends. This issue is addressed in Vault 1.8.1.

- AWS Auth using the [EC2 method](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/aws#ec2-auth-method)
fails with the error `failed to verify the signature`. This effects 1.8.0 and 1.8.1 and there
is not a workaround. The issue will be fixed in a future Vault minor release.
2021-08-24 17:07:26 +00:00
- Configuration files in RedHat packages for Vault were not properly flagged as
config files for `fpm`, causing user-edited files on disk to be replaced with
the defaults when a new package was installed. This
[issue](https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/issues/12275) affects RedHat
packages for Vault 1.8.0 and the 1.8.1-0 package, and is fixed in 1.8.1-1 and up.
