This issue is intended to track the release of version 0.8.0 of the python-control toolbox. All of the changes that go along with this release are now done, so I am planning to use this issue to track the steps in actually getting the release out the door (since the last time we did one was a couple of years back!).

I've put an outline of what I think the steps are for generating a release on the wiki under release instructions. Will start working through those and post progress here. (I'm going to be doing this off and on in the coming week or so => might take a while to get things out the door. If anyone wants to help, just let me know!).
