 Changelog
 =========
 
+0.8.1 (2023-08-15)
+==================
+
+ * Made EHerkenningConfiguration.loa required
+   It was previously possible to accidentally misconfigure by selecting the
+   empty option for the LOA in the admin.
+
+   This patch contains a migration that will set undefined eHerkennning LOAs to
+   low_plus. But if you have an invalid LOA set, the migration will fail with
+   an IntegrityError. In case this happens, go to the admin and select a LOA.
+
+
 0.8.0 (2023-06-21)
