-**0.8.6 (release 2020-08-20)**
+**0.8.7 (released 2020-09-01)**
+
+- This release focused primarily on two improvements:
+    1. Added new NOAA GOES reader for GOES DSC/DCP data ingest. This new reader 
+       replaces the USGS EDDN reader, which is no longer functional 
+       (web service is inaccessible) and was removed in this release.
+    2. Overhauled the dependencies (requirements files) and test and continuous 
+       integration (CI) infrastructure to enable support for more recent Python 3 versions
+       (3.7, 3.8 and 3.9) and reestablish the CI tests. Previously only 3.6 was supported,
+       due to dependency pinning that was no longer necessary.
+- ulmo readers
+    - New NOAA GOES reader
+    - Fixed GHCN Daily get_data compatibility bug with newer (1.1 and higher) Pandas versions
+    - Update to https in documentation and test references to http://hydroportal.cuahsi.org
+- Builds, dependencies, tests and continuous integration
+    - Removed broken Travis CI and AppVeyor integration, and replaced them with
+      new GitHub Action
+    - Split `requirements.txt` file into `requirements.txt` and `requirements-dev.txt`
+    - Removed pytables dependencies that's no longer used and removed
+      all dependency version pinning

+    - Fixed some failing tests

 - The largest change was to the ReadTheDocs documentation system. It had not
   been updated in a long time, and the auto-update CI was broken. Many sections

 - Bug fixes and small enhancements for multiple readers:
   cpc, cuahsi.his_central, cuahsi.wof, usgs.eddn, usgs.nwis

-- usgs.eddn: generalized twdb_fts parser to accept batter_voltage and

-- usgs.nwis:
-    - `get_site_data` can now accept a list of parameter codes as an argument
-       instead of a string of comma separated values
-    - enabled retrieval of iv data prior to 2007
