+PyTecplot 1.8.0
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* Added surface-flow effect controls, including line integral convolution, for
+  Tecplot 360 2026 R1 and later.
+* Added `tp.data.load_ugrid()` for loading exactly one `.b8.ugrid` or
+  `.lb8.ugrid` file per call with an optional explicit `mapbc_filename`.
+* Documented UGRID MAPBC behavior in the API reference, including companion
+  `.mapbc` auto-discovery when `mapbc_filename=None`.
+* Current FEA loader version updated to v196864.
