First release candidate for version 0.8

[Gaëtan de Menten]

I am pleased to announce that the first release candidate of version 0.8
of LIAM2 is now available. If all goes well, I will release the final
0.8 next week.

Since the previous pre-release (0.8-pre1), the following changes have
been made:

* implemented scatter plots.

* implemented "suffix" argument for charts.

* improved the first few demonstration models quite a bit. A recommended
read for all users.

* fixed the "view" action (ViTables) which did not work on some
computers when launched from within the bundled editor (notepad++).

* made the archive smaller by using Qt as the back-end for charts
instead of Tk so that we do not need to include the latter in LIAM2 any
more.

* include the documentation only in HTML Help format (.chm) in the
bundle. .pdf and "normal" html are still available as separate downloads
on the website.

This pre-release can be downloaded from:

As always, *any* feedback is very welcome, preferably on the liam2-users
mailing list: liam2...@googlegroups.com (you need to register to be
able to post).
