Re: digiKam 8.8.0 is released

Hi all,

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

There are few glitches to fix in all prior web pages as broken links
but mostly the site contents are safe and do not depend on any
external resources.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
