`@celo/celocli` v8 is a major release, not in terms of the number of changes, but due to several significant feature removals.

The following features have been **removed** :

1.All exchange commands  
_These were removed due to low usage and because Mento’s upgrade broke the existing implementation._

2.offchain-read and offchain-write commands  
_These_ _commands saw little use because the underlying standard (CIP-8) has been deprecated._

3.Aliases for Alfajores and Baklava  
_The --node flag aliases for these testnets have been removed as Alfajores and Baklava have reached end-of-life._

Finally, this release includes an important fix for the `releasecelo:transfer-dollars` command, ensuring it loads the correct account to send from.

Awesome, this was a very confusing bug.
