GemRB 0.8.8 released!

The GemRB team is proud to announce a new (minor) release.

This release features improvements in several areas, with no new major subsystems. You might be thinking: "What's this, weren't we promised subviews?!" and the answer to that is: yes! Stay tuned for another release in the following days as we integrate the branch back and do some final retesting.

Currently only the sources and some packages are available. You can get them from https://gemrb.org/Install
