CEGUI 0.8.0

I come to you this fine day bearing gifts! Yes, we finally managed to stick to a release day as promised :D This time around it is the 0.8.0 release of CEGUI. This is the first release from the new v0-8 branch, and contains many of the things we have been working on for 1.0, but -- as previously announced -- we wanted to get this out there and in use, so rather than keep putting off releasing until 1.0 is finally ready, we are issuing the 0.8.x series of releases.

The 0.8 releases marks many changes for CEGUI. One of the major things is that we will be applying our API/ABI versioning policy from this release. This means that all future 0.x releases will not break the API for you guys, and that 0.8.x releases will additionally be binary compatible -- that means, for example, you can compile 0.8.1 libs when they arrive, drop them in place and your programs will get bugfixes and what have you without you having to recompile or relink.

The release contains massive breaking changes from 0.7 and earlier releases, however. The docs do not (yet) have a porting guide (I aim to get it done for some future 0.x release), though the Wiki contains a page with some -- but not all -- of the required changes, please see that here: http://www.cegui.org.uk/wiki/index.php/ ... _for_1.0.0

Additionally, please note that the vast majority of the Wiki is out of date as far as 0.8 is concerned, so we would ask you guys to chip in and update articles where you can.

The following packages are available for immediate download:
