+In addition to the fixes and stability improvements, the following sections highlight what is new in {pipelines-title} 1.8.

+[id="deprecated-features-1-8_{context}"]
+== Deprecated features
+
+* Support for the `tekton.dev/v1alpha1` API version, which was deprecated in {pipelines-title} GA 1.6, is planned to be removed in the upcoming {pipelines-title} GA 1.9 release.
++
+This change affects the pipeline component, which includes the `TaskRun`, `PipelineRun`, `Task`, `Pipeline`, and similar `tekton.dev/v1alpha1` resources. The `operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1` API version is not deprecated and still used by the Operator.
++
+Bug fixes and support for the `tekton.dev/v1alpha1` API version are provided only through the end of the current GA 1.8 lifecycle. Use the `tekton.dev/v1beta1` API version instead.

+
+[id="known-issues-1-8_{context}"]
+== Known issues
+
+* There is currently a known issue: The `s2i-nodejs` pipeline cannot use the `nodejs:14-ubi8-minimal` image stream to perform source-to-image (S2I) builds. Doing so produces an `error building at STEP "RUN /usr/libexec/s2i/assemble": exit status 127` message.
++
+Workaround: Use `nodejs:14-ubi8` instead of the `nodejs:14-ubi8-minimal` image stream.
+// (link:https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SRVKP-1782[#SRVKP-1782])
+// Writer, also see https://github.com/tektoncd/operator/blob/main/cmd/openshift/operator/kodata/tekton-addon/addons/02-clustertasks/source_local/s2i-nodejs/s2i-nodejs-task.yaml. Overkill: The user can run the `$ oc edit clustertask s2i-nodejs` command and replace `$(params.VERSION)` with `14-ubi8`. Alternatively, you can use a `TaskRun` resource to set the tag of the `nodejs` image stream to `14-ubi8`.
