OpenPatrician Release 0.8.0

While it took a bit of time to get from the last release to the release candidate of last  week, the final release is now here.

Of course I made a feature video highlighting the changes that are discernible from a user perspective:

While progressing with the release I also posted two articles on all the stuff learned from the development: Y-O-Y part I and part II. There are also three more blog posts on some specific development topics, that are not restricted to OpenPatrician:

• Documentation generation with Compiler API
