Release 0.8.8

Hello Everybody,

We are happy to announce the release of version 0.8.8. In this version we have worked on a different number of tasks from implementing scouting service to minor GUI updates.

Scouting Service

On the recruits page we have added a scouting service, where you can hire the service to find different recruits for you based on your selection. The service costs a monthly fee, but you might get some unknown prospects which aren't known by the other teams. These unknowns aren't high ranked.

Walkons

We have made a couple of optimizations for walkons. You will now get a report per new walkon at the beginning of the season, where you need to decide if you will keep them on the team or not. This is meant to be a sort of tryout. Of course it is possible to delegate this to the CPU assistance. All new walkons will also wear number -1 until you have decided to keep them or not. 

New Features

• Added attendances and average attendances to team statistics view
• Added the Long Snapper as a new player type
• Implemented the posibility of changing a punter to kicker and vice versa
• Added the possibility of releasing players
• Implemented so it is possible to select specific conference and team for player statistics

Optimizations

• Implemented so coach handling works for player discipline
• Changed so a team wouldn't punt on fourth if behind late in the game
• Implemented so the maximum amount of recruits is per class year
• Did some minor GUI updates for Calendar, Recruits View, Team Squad and Team Depth Chart
• Implemented so the passing stats requires a minimum amount of attempts 

Bug Fixes

• Fixed so it is possible to progress even if you don't have enough players for a position
• Fixed a GUI issue with not showing the correct prestige goals in season 3
• Fixed loading and saving issue for some users
