The only change that jumps out at me from the release notes is:

OpenWatcom said...
  • The NULL macro is now defined as ((void *)0) for C; for C++, NULL is still defined as 0 or 0L as previously. This change may require modifications to user code if NULL was incorrectly used as an integer constant. Note: The 16-bit windows.h header defines NULL as 0; for 16-bit Windows programming, the effective definition of NULL depends on whether windows.h or one of the standard C headers is included first

We use a lot of NULL in the back end. Quickly scanning grep output, it looks like this is how we use it, but I can only think of one way to be sure. That said, I usually wait for an actual release. And Euphoria "officially" uses 1.8.
