As I intend to be the practice going forward, this is the parallel release to upstream's v0.10.8 release.

The two major changes for this release are the implementation of all the new scanner information types. Human space now has a variety of passive scanners that provide different sorts of information, and allow the player to customize what they want to see and what they would prefer to not have. As such, the tactical scanner now only provides two information types, but has been shrunk down to 2 space to allow for other passive scanners to be installed alongside it. One, the thermal scanner, is mission locked and is added to the same outfitters that carry the flamethrower at the same time. Prior to this, there wasn't much push for tactical thermal tracking. Please note that all the new scanners use the tactical scanner outfit image as Delta currently does not have any active graphics designers. Outfit designs for those would be welcome.

The more subtle change includes some navigational aides in the form of greater zooming capability, as well as a yellow arrow on the minimap that will always point towards the center of the system. This is primarily useful for large systems such as Sol.

While they didn't contribute directly in PRs, I just wanted to thank @arkhne , @Arachi-Lover, @Hurleveur , @ravenshining , @UnorderedSigh , @MasterOfGrey , @vitalchip, @petervdmeer , @TheGiraffe3, among others for their assistance in working out some of the details and updates. Your assistance is appreciated.

Full Changelog: Experimental-Development...v0.10.8-Delta

For those who are new to Delta, just a note that this does contain all the enhancements and experiments from the previous release, so you can expect to find lateral thrust, a reduced drag environment (spaceships act more like ships moving in a vacuum and less like boats on water), and integration and access to Hai Reveal as some of the major highlights.
