Update for solidity 0.8 about abdk-libraries-solidity HOT 3 CLOSED

For previous major releases like 0.6.0 and 0.7.0 it was as simple as to update pragma and retest with the new compiler, however for 0.8.0 the situation is more complicated. As Solidity 0.8.x does overflow checks under cover, the current code, that also does the checks itself, would be suboptimal, however wrapping the current code into unchecked would be it incompatible with the older releases.
Currently, realistic plan is to have a separate branch for Solidity 0.8.0 with most of the explicit checks removed, but this is a decent amount of work to be done.

Fair enough. I'm keen on upgrading to 0.8 for my code and this library is a part of it. If there is a timeline let me know or we can just wrap our ABDK library to use unchecked for the 0.8 upgrade.

Version 3.0 published that requires Solidity 0.8.x. For older compilers 2.x versions will be published going forward.
