A full list of changes from version 7.1 can be found in the readme.
One of the changes in version 8 is that the mod has been split up into several smaller parts. Previously it included the translated worldmap images and had version 8 done it the same way, it would have been over 100 MB large. Instead, these translated worldmap images are downloaded separately, as you need them. I regret any inconvenience this may cause, but I think it is the preferable alternative. You will not experience any problems if you, for any reason, do not download the add-on for your language. You will simply get a worldmap image with writing in English instead. E.g. if you install the mod in German it will say "Troll Mountain" instead of "Trollberge." It is strictly a cosmetic issue and tool-tips, area names etc will still be translated.
Note on the current patches:
The patch for the Drizzt Saga mod is still relevant for v8, because it is a patch for the Drizzt Saga mod, rather than a patch for the BP-BGT Worldmap mod. The other patches (French, Imoen, Tutu) are not relevant for v8.
