v0.8.8: Enhancing Asset Discovery with Screenshots and Tech Stack Detection - July 8, 2024

In this release, we've made substantial enhancements to our asset discovery capabilities, introduced new features for Basic Tier (Free) users, and resolved several critical issues. Our primary focus has been on improving the visibility and analysis of discovered assets, and refining the insights for assets.
