+# ABP v2.8.0 Releases & Road Maps
+
+The **ABP Framework** & and the **ABP Commercial** v2.8 have been released. This post will cover **what's new** with these releases and the **middle-term road maps** for the projects.
+
+## What's New in the ABP Framework?
+
+### SignalR Integration Package
+
+We've published [a new package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.SignalR) to integrate SignalR to ABP framework based applications.
+
+> It is already possible to follow [the standard Microsoft tutorial](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/tutorials/signalr) to add [SignalR](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/signalr/introduction) to your application. However, ABP provides a SignalR integration packages those simplify the integration and usage. 
+
+See the [SignalR Integration document](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/SignalR-Integration) to start with the SignalR.
+
+#### SignalR Demo Application
+
+We've also created a simple chat application to demonstrate how to use it.

+
+See [the source code of the application.](https://github.com/abpframework/abp-samples/tree/master/SignalRDemo)
+
+### Console Application Startup Template
+
+The new console application template can be used to create a new console application that has the ABP Framework integrated.
+
+Use ABP CLI to create a new console application, specifying the `console` as the `-t` (template) option:
+
+````bash
+abp new MyApp -t console
+````
