Purpose

Version 8 is 64 bit version of the front end aw::browser.

This implied replacing 32 bit components, in particular Renderware.
This also included binary dependencies to nVidia PhysX, VLC Media SDK, CEF Chrome Embedded and Microsoft's Xof.
All prior 32 bit-only dependencies were rewritten from scratch.

Features

New features include additional 3D formats and modern shader-only render, to be made available during the v8 cycle.
