Dear XuvTools Users and Developers,

while the year is nearing its end, and the first snow glitters
on the fields, the new XuvTools 1.8.0 release provides a great
excuse to stay inside with hot chocolate and some stitching!

XuvTools 1.8.0 is now available, and brings many improvements and
changes. Foremost, it is the first release that features the new
LOCI Bio-Formats based file reader. You can fetch the release as
