Folks, I've walked through all the commits to master since 2.8 branch was cut and filtered some tickets that in my opinion are worth including to 2.8.1 release below (note that they are ready end the effort of including them to the release should be low as long as there are no implicit dependencies between tickets). Please share your opinion on whether we should include them to the 2.8.1.
