[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

branch: master
commit af1c8e2d7f11aeb012d6a824227a5169f44565e5
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>
Commit: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>

    Preparations for the 8th Gnuastro release
    
    All the necessary preparations have been made for the 8th release of
    Gnuastro.
    
    In particular some typos were found: in a convolve library's error message
    a typo was found by Lintian when checking for the new release of Gnuastro
    in Debian's package manager. Also I went over the new parts of the book and
    fixed some typos.
    
    Also, some corrections were made in the release checklist.

-   make the `tar.lz' that will be distributed.
+ - Update Gnulib and Autoconf archives, then remove all the non-version
