[Bodington-developers] 2.8.0 release

[Colin T. <col...@ou...>]

I'm about to finalise the 2.8.0 release (it's complete, apart from release notes and change log).

* I'm not including a source zip (2.6.0 included one) but it seems unnecessary.

* Anyone already written a change log? Otherwise it'll have to be a summary of what's on the wiki 
page for 2.8.

* Are we happy to re-use the release notes from the previous version (with minor edits):

"Bodington is a free, institutional scale VLE implemented and supported by a wide group of educational
institutions, led by Oxford, UHI, Leeds and Manchester. More information can be found at
http://bodington.org.

In the package you will find three files:

1. Bodington License: The OSS License under which you can use and develop Bodington.

2. bodington_war: This is main Bodington application. To use this, you should copy bodington.war to 
your servlet container's webapp root (you may need to either restart or reload it, depending on your 
container's instructions). You must then create and configure a supported database before you can 
use the Bodington application.

3. bodington-quickstart_war: This is a preconfigured version of bodington.war which uses the 
lightweight HSQLDB database. It's designed to get you up and running with Bodington with the least 
possible effort. To use this, you should copy bodington-quickstart.war to your servlet container's 
webapp root (you may need to either restart or reload it, depending on your container's 
instructions). You can then login directly to Bodington using the sysadmin user account with no 
further configuration. This version is not recommended for production use."
