# Release note
## v0.8.4rc2
This is the second release candidate of v0.8.4 for vllm-ascend. Please follow the [official doc](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/) to start the journey. Some experimental features are included in this version, such as W8A8 quantization and EP/DP support. We'll make them stable enough in the next release.
### Highlights
- Qwen3 and Qwen3MOE is supported now. Please follow the [official doc](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/single_npu.html) to run the quick demo. [#709](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/709)
- Ascend W8A8 quantization method is supported now. Please take the [official doc](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorials/multi_npu_quantization.html) for example. Any [feedback](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/619) is welcome. [#580](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/580)
- DeepSeek V3/R1 works with DP, TP and MTP now. Please note that it's still in experimental status. Let us know if you hit any problem. [#429](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/429) [#585](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/585) [#626](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/626) [#636](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/636) [#671](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/671)
### Core
- ACLGraph feature is supported with V1 engine now. It's disabled by default because this feature rely on CANN 8.1 release. We'll make it avaiable by default in the next release [#426](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/426)
- Upgrade PyTorch to 2.5.1. vLLM Ascend no longer relies on the dev version of torch-npu now. Now users don't need to install the torch-npu by hand. The 2.5.1 version of torch-npu will be installed automaticlly. [#661](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/661)

## v0.8.4rc1
This is the first release candidate of v0.8.4 for vllm-ascend. Please follow the [official doc](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/) to start the journey. From this version, vllm-ascend will follow the newest version of vllm and release every two weeks. For example, if vllm releases v0.8.5 in the next two weeks, vllm-ascend will release v0.8.5rc1 instead of v0.8.4rc2. Please find the detail from the [official documentation](https://vllm-ascend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/versioning_policy.html#release-window).
