2.8-rc1

2.8 is out. Check the list of releases.

First candidate build for the upcoming 2.8 release.
Please help us check for regressions, especially in TAStudio and the rest of the TASing workflow. Remember: if it's not reported then it won't be fixed!

2.8 will see MSXHawk graduate from experimental. It will also introduce 3 new cores—these are not part of this RC.
A changelog listing all the bugfixes and improvements will come later, but for now you can check the closed issues and commit history.
