 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [2.8.0] - January 26, 2022
+
+### New Features
+- Add a set of new APIs for overriding and managing user-level flag, experiment and delivery rule decisions. These methods can be used for QA and automated testing purposes. They are an extension of the ReactSDKClient interface ([#133](https://github.com/optimizely/react-sdk/pull/133)):
+  - setForcedDecision
+  - getForcedDecision
+  - removeForcedDecision
+  - removeAllForcedDecisions
+- Updated `useDecision` hook to auto-update and reflect changes when forced decisions are set and removed ([#133](https://github.com/optimizely/react-sdk/pull/133)).
+- For details, refer to our documentation pages: [ReactSDKClient](https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/full-stack/v4.0/docs/reactsdkclient), [Forced Decision methods](https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/full-stack/v4.0/docs/forced-decision-methods-react) and [useDecision hook](https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/full-stack/v4.0/docs/usedecision-react).
+
+### Bug fixes
+- Fixed the SDK to render the correct decision on first render when initialized synchronously using a datafile ([#125](https://github.com/optimizely/react-sdk/pull/125)).
+- Fixed the redundant re-rendering when SDK is initialized with both datafile and SDK key ([#125](https://github.com/optimizely/react-sdk/pull/125)).
+- Updated `@optimizely/js-sdk-logging` to 0.3.1 ([#140](https://github.com/optimizely/react-sdk/pull/140)).
