We simply can't fit everything we want into a single release. Sometimes we have to remember that we're simply humans - just like you. It was a very short time span between 1.8.0 and today's 1.8.1 release because we already were hard at work on a few updates that just had to wait. We think you'll like them. Overall, 1.8.1 is a minor upgrade, but it packs a powerful performance and stability punch, along with some multi-lingual goodness for our friends overseas.
Prerequisites
As always, please test your upgrades on a development version of your site first. Be sure to back-up prior to upgrade, and merge anynoted viewset changes as desired. We are not responsible for any Hotcakes that get spilled on the floor.

Viewset Changes
This release doesn't have any viewset changes, but you should always perform a comparison of your viewset to the default viewset anyway to ensure that you have any desired updates from prior releases.
In the very least, you should always review the Cart, Checkout, CSS, and JavaScript updates when there are any. These are areas that can directly affect how well your store is performing.
