+## Mobly Release 1.8: Controller Management and `AndroidDevice` Service
+
+### New

+  of long-running processes for Android devices.

+
+### Deprecated

+* `start_services` -> `ad.services.start_all`
+* `stop_services` -> `ad.services.stop_all`
+* `start_adb_logcat` -> `ad.services.logcat_start`
+* `stop_adb_logcat` -> `ad.services.logcat_stop`
+
+### Fixes
