TagLib 1.8 BETA Released

[Lukáš Lalinský]

I've just released a beta version of TagLib 1.8. This version includes
all features that have been in git master, some of them are over a
year old. Because there are many new APIs, I'd decided to release a
beta version first. The code is already being used in production by
many people, so I believe there shouldn't be any serious bugs, but in
case you find any or you would like some of the new APIs
changed/extended, please file a bug report at
https://github.com/taglib/taglib/issues

(There are some problems with the API documentation on the website,
please use "make docs" in the source directory to view the API docs
for now.)
