vere-v2.8

The previous release vere-v2.7 introduced a regression presenting as a significant disk read increase when swapping. This issue was caused by a flag meant only for development builds being set in the release build, causing every snapshot write to do an overly paranoid check on snapshot integrity.

We have now released vere-v2.8 to fix the issue.
