Dear all,

Galene 0.8 is available by doing

  git clone -b galene-0.8 https://github.com/jech/galene

For more information about the Galene videoconference server, please see

  https://galene.org

The main news in this version is native support for the WHIP protocol.
There's also support for passwords hashed using BCrypt (more secure but
more CPU-intensive than the default PBKDF2) and a number of minor fixes.

The switch to VP9 didn't work out, since there are some issues with VP9
congestion control that I haven't had the leisure to debug, so VP8 is
still the default codec.
