Release 2.4.10

Announcement

This is a 2.4.10 release, which is mainly bugfix release, but also contains a couple of improvements.

The Graphics Engine (../reporting/includes/class.graphic.inc, has been rewritten to also include SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
This also improved the option to show a new type, Splines (A curve that connects two or more specific points, or that is defined by two or more points. A prittier line graph).
Another new type, Half Donut is also created, with the option to place a value inside. This is also the fact with the old type Donut.

Developers, interested in using this engine in own modules can read a briefly documentation in front of class.graphic.inc.

This new Graphics Engine also resulted in a new and better Dashboard in the core.
The work force is done inside the /includes/dashboard.inc. If you place a dashboard.inc in a theme, The /admin/dashboard.php will use this dashboard.inc instead.

This release should also be PHP 8 compatible. The following versions has been tested: 8.0.0 and 8.0.7.
