Version v8.0.1 of MediaCMS removes the local single‑server deployment option and replaces uWSGI with Gunicorn as the Python application server.

Why it matters: If you currently run a local single‑server setup, migrate to an alternative deployment method before upgrading; otherwise update your service configuration to use Gunicorn instead of uWSGI.
