Version 1.8.0 of the Go client was released on December 1, 2015 and is available for download [here](https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/tree/v1.8.0). This major release adds several new features and improvements, and fixes important bugs.

New Features

- Added ScanAllObjects, ScanNodeObjects, QueryObjects and QueryNodeObjects to the client, to facilitate automatic unmarshalling of data similar to GetObject.
- NOTICE: This feature and its API are experimental, and may change in the future. Please test your code throughly, and provide feedback via Github.
- Added ScanPolicy.IncludeLDT option (usable with yet-to-be-released server v 3.7.0).
- Added LargeList.Exist method.

Improvements

- Makes Generation and Expiration values consistent for WritePolicy and Record.
- NOTICE! BREAKING CHANGE: Types of Record.Generation and Record.Expiration, and also WritePolicy.Generation and WritePolicy.Expiration have changed, and may require casting in older code.
- Refactor tools/asinfo to be more idiomatic Go. [PR #86](https://github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/pull/86), thanks to [Tyler Gibbons](https://github.com/Kavec).
- Many documentation fixes thanks to [Charl Matthee](https://github.com/charl) and [Tyler Gibbons](https://github.com/Kavec).

Fixes
