digiKam 8.8.0 is released

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

It kind of works on some of my Olympus Stylus 1 JPG files, but not all. 
I say "kind of" because in some pictures, the focus point shown is 
obviously not the one really used, for example, some portraits with 
quite sharp face and blurry background, but digiKam tells me the focus 
point is in the background. Also, I couldn't find any ORF file where it 
worked, though.
