Yafray 0.0.8

The new version of Yafray has just been released taking it to 0.0.8.

YafRay is a free, powerful raytracer, released under the LGPL license. It enables you to create fantastic images and animations of a photo realistic quality some of which you can see here.

Used in combination (Yafray doesn't have a GUI but can be operated from the command line) with Blender to set up the scene, apply materials and lighting it can produce some stunning results with full Global Illumination, HDRI, photon mapping etc.

I've been using Yafray since 0.0.6 and this latest release seems very fast with a lot of much needed additions to improve integration within Blender. You can check out an image I created previously with Blender/Yafray here.
