Well, doing some quick math here, 0.0.7 had 451 images, so with the alleged 560+ renders in 0.0.8, it seems that the updates are increasing in size. Last time around I think there was 15+ animations too, but I'm totally ok with only 7. Animations can be a resource hog, and I much prefer more renders, or different, and varied angles for scenes.
I just hope that the 560+ number in 0.0.8 doesn't include the re-rendered 0.0.1 images. 0.0.1 had a render count of 186 images, but then again, the post says 560 NEW images, so there's probably nothing to worry about.
