Upgrade to version 0.8.
This represents a milestone release over the previous version, and includes significant improvements to the version detection and comparison algorithms, support for the new SourceForge mirror layout (and an easy way to add future workarounds), theoretical support for NetBSD's pkgsrc and OpenBSD ports, support for providing a list of software in an XML file in place of ports, and support for SQLite. Of course, there are also many optimisations and general bug fixes.
