digiKam 8.8.0 is released

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

I dropped all images linked to imgur over all contents from
digikam.org. All images are now on the server using webp format.

I will process the images linked to flickr web service in the same way
(and we have a lot of).

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
