Flint-2.8.0 Beta testing

[Bill Hart]

Hi all,

After a successful Flint-2.8.0-dev release a few months back, we have
decided to enter beta testing of Flint-2.8.0.

I have therefore tagged flint-2.8.0-beta1 on GitHub. Please report
issues to our issue tracker:

https://github.com/wbhart/flint2/issues

It is expected that release candidates will start being issued next
week, once any issues with the beta release are resolved and some
final polishing is done.

Best Wishes,

Bill.

Hi all,

I've now tagged 2.8.0-rc1, our first release candidate for the
flint-2.8 branch. Development on trunk now continues for the next
release.

Please report all remaining issue to our GitHub issue tracker. We will
issue release candidates until there are no further critical issues
reported for 3 working days in a row.

Bill.
