2.8 & 2.8.1

[Janne Jalkanen]

Folks,

I opened a new version in the issue tracker: 2.8.1.  Please push  
stuff you think we can live without in 2.8 to 2.8.1... I'm not sure  
whether we want to do everything that's still left for 2.8.  Now that  
it's all Apache-licensed, there isn't that much need to hold stuff  
back anymore.  Probably better to go into beta with what we have now  
(+whatever is mandatory), and then add bits on top of it.

And, as a part of the incubation process, we need to do at least one  
full "incubator" release to learn the ropes ;-)
