[dgud]

Built linux for ubuntu 20.04 (but can't test so please confirm if works).

Reports any bugs or crashes not many changes in this list,
but many changes under the hood.

--- 2.2.8 --------------------------------------------

- Fixed a crash caused by checking image name. Thanks to rgcotl (at Discord) [micheus]

- Rewrote grid drawing. [dgud]

- Fixed pale colors for materials and vertex colors. [dgud]

- New splash screen image. Congrats to Hank. [micheus]

- Uses Erlang/OTP-24 in pre-built versions, which should give a performance boost. [dgud]

- The material properties for plugins are now accessed by choosing the
plugin name in a drop-down list and clicking on the "Edit..." button. [micheus]

- Yafaray fixes:
-- Fixed Yafaray issues in both Material and Option dialogs. Thanks to oort [micheus]

further crashes in Yafaray exporter. Thanks to tkbd. [Micheus]

Thanks dgud for the update.

The colours and grid look really good now.
