onCourse 2.0 beta 8 released

This morning we released onCourse 2.0 beta 8. We’ve fixed a whole host of bugs since the previous beta release and identified some performance issues: some things like tag filtering are now close to 1000 times faster.

We’ll still have another beta 9 due in about a week, and unless anything else comes up that might be the final beta before release. We already feel that 2.0 is more robust than 1.7.21, but it doesn’t hurt to do a little more testing!
