This is a minor release that offers NVS Partition Editor, Partition Table Editor, Debugging configuration improvements, and many other bug fixes to improve the quality of the plugin.

You should be able to install IEP 2.8.0 update site on your existing Espressif-IDE. If you're using Eclipse Embedded 2022-06 and higher will be an update site error, however, eclipse suggests an alternative solution that will still install the 2.8.0 plugin correctly and shouldn't impact anything else.
