Hi,

I have released Aravis 0.8.8, a bug fix / API enhancement release in the 0.8 series.

The most interesting improvement is a faster finalization of GigEvision device objects.

- gvdevice: faster finalization (Emmanuel)
- arv-camera-test: promote to installed application (Emmanuel)
- applications: fix policy parameter consistency (Emmanuel)
- debug: timestamped and modernized output (Emmanuel)
- genicam: add a range check debug mode (Emmanuel)
- camera: new DeviceSerialNumber getter (Emmanuel)

The release tarball is available at the usual place: [https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/aravis/0.8/](https://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/aravis/0.8/)

Have fun using Aravis.

Cheers,

Emmanuel.
