[Freedesktop-sdk] Freedesktop SDK 22.08.0 released!

[Javier Jardón]

Hi everyone,

We have now released Freedesktop SDK 22.08.0. It is already available
on Flathub!

Check the NEWS file for all the updates: [1]

If you maintain an application using the Freedesktop SDK runtime, please
consider upgrading the version, especially if you are still using
20.08 or earlier as It's going to be EOL soon [2].
In most cases, this mostly requires changing "runtime-version"
in the Flatpak builder manifest of the application.
Note this cycle mesa has deleted the classic (DRI) drivers though,
so GL support can be missing for some old hardware, see [3].

This is the result of a year of work from all our contributors, thanks
a lot to all of them! (including our beloved freedesktop_sdk_updater bot and
the person that put it in place, Christpher Phang :)):
