2021-9: GNU Taler v0.8 released

We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.8.

We have addressed over 400 individual issues, our bug tracker has the full list. Notable changes include:

Some of the major changes are based on the security audit performed by Code Blau in 2020. Addressing these recommendations was done as part of the NLnet Grant 2019-06-28 funded by the European Commissions great Next Generation Internet initiative under grant agreement number 825310. In particular, Code Blau had recommended strengthening the isolation of the private keys, which is now implemented using the taler-exchange-secmod-* binaries that can run under a different user ID than the network-facing taler-exchange-httpd process. Our detailed response to the audit is available here.
