What's New in Karabo 2.9.8
**************************
A release for the GUI Server. We temporarily allow devices coded not following
the ``fast reply on slot`` policy to be installed and not bother the user with
spurious timeouts. These devices should be adapted before the release of 2.10.0.
This also includes some GUI enhances such as a fix for scenes with nested layouts
that modifies the scene upon loading and a verbose error dialog that extracts
pertinent information from the stack trace.

- CPP: GuiServerDevice can ignore timeouts on configuration !4649
- File Logger: Fix reading of empty vector of strings logged with 2.8.X and earlier. !4654
