-### Hotfix release ROCm 2.7.2

-This release is a hotfix for ROCm release 2.7.
+### New features and enhancements in ROCm 2.8

-#### Defect fixed in ROCm 2.7.2
-
-##### A defect in upgrades from older ROCm releases has been fixed.
-
-### Hotfix release ROCm 2.7.1
-
-This release is a hotfix release for ROCm release 2.7.1, and addresses the defect mentioned below. The features and enhancements as mentioned in [ROCm 2.7](#new-features-and-enhancements-in-rocm-27) remain relevant to ROCm release 2.7.1 as well.
-
-#### Defect fixed in ROCm 2.7.1
-
-##### rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library
-In ROCm 2.7.1, rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library defect has been fixed.  
-To generate traces, please provide directory path also using the parameter: -d <$directoryPath> for ex:
-```shell
-/opt/rocm/bin/rocprof  --hsa-trace -d $PWD/traces /opt/rocm/hip/samples/0_Intro/bit_extract/bit_extract
-  ```
-All traces and results will be saved under $PWD/traces path
-
-#### Upgrading from ROCm 2.7 to 2.7.1
-
-To upgrade, please remove 2.7 completely as specified [here](#how-to-uninstall-from-ubuntu-1604-or-Ubuntu-1804) or [here](#how-to-uninstall-rocm-from-centosrhel-76), and install 2.7.1 as per instructions [here](#installing-from-amd-rocm-repositories)
-
-#### Other notes
-
-  To use rocprofiler features, the following steps need to be completed before using rocprofiler:
-
-  ##### Step-1: Install roctracer
-
-###### Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04:
-
-  ```shell
-  sudo apt install roctracer-dev
-  ```
-
-######  CentOS/RHEL 7.6:
-
-  ```shell
-  sudo yum install roctracer-dev
-  ```
-  ##### Step-2: Add /opt/rocm/roctracer/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-
-### New features and enhancements in ROCm 2.7
-
-#### [rocFFT] Real FFT Functional
-Improved real/complex 1D even-length transforms of unit stride. Performance improvements of up to 4.5x are observed. Large problem sizes should see approximately 2x.
-
-#### rocRand Enhancements and Optimizations
- Added support for new datatypes: uchar, ushort, half.
- Improved performance on "Vega 7nm" chips, such as on the Radeon Instinct MI50
- mtgp32 uniform double performance changes due generation algorithm standardization. Better quality random numbers now generated with 30% decrease in performance
- Up to 5% performance improvements for other algorithms
-
-#### RAS
-Added support for RAS on Radeon Instinct MI50, including:
- Memory error detection
- Memory error detection counter
-
-#### ROCm-SMI enhancements
-Added ROCm-SMI CLI and LIB support for FW version, compute running processes, utilization rates, utilization counter, link error counter, and unique ID.
+#### Support for NCCL2.4.8 API
+Implements ncclCommAbort() and ncclCommGetAsyncError() to match the NCCL 2.4.x API
