Bruce Dubbs from the LFS and BLFS projects that allow experienced users to build their own Linux-based operating systems from scratch announced the release of Linux From Scratch 8.0 and Beyond LFS 8.0.

Both Linux From Scratch 8.0 and Beyond Linux From Scratch 8.0 major versions are available with and without the systemd init system, and they offer support for some of the latest GNU/Linux and Open Source components, including GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 6.2.0, GNU Binutils 2.27, and Glibc (GNU C Library) 2.24.

Why a major release? Because the biggest change included in the Linux From Scratch 8.0 and Beyond Linux From Scratch 8.0 releases, besides the new version number, is the removal of the /lib symbolic link, which has been replaced with /lib64, along with the complete removal of /usr/lib64.
