v0.8.0

Highlights

• Particle texture support: You can now add base color, normal, metallic and roughness textures to particles.
• Nested emission: To enable more complex emission patterns, you can define multiple particle types and emission settings per particle spawner. A new emission mode is "nested emission", which emits particles of some type B from the position of each particle of type A. This is convenient, for example, for spawning fire/smoke particles trailing a larger debris particle.
• PBR emissive colors: Very basic feature that was missing until now; very useful for sparks and other bright particle types.
• Particle systems now respect render layers.
• Removed unnecessary Bevy feature flags.
