Release a bugfix version following 4.8.0

[gtoison]

Hello,
Version 4.8.0 had a few problems that created many false positives or even caused the analysis to crash.
Most of these issues are now fixed, would it be possible to release a new version soon?

I have one pending PR here: #2673 that must be merged for 4.8.1.

Once this PR is merged, I would also vote for releasing 4.8.1 soon, for same reason like @gtoison.

Can do the release this weekend if all in agreement. Will give another day to see any further comments.

This will permit to release the blocker #2658 for French users.

I also support releasing 4.8.1 soon. I see no PR which must be merged before the release, and AFAIK all issues raised in connection with 4.8.0 got addressed.

4.8.1 is released.
