Release of Bio-Formats C++ 5.1.8

Today we have released the binary builds of Bio-Formats C++ 5.1.8, together with the ome-cmake-superbuild package used for building Bio-Formats C++ and its dependencies on Windows and other platforms. With our current C++ development efforts being devoted to the upcoming 5.2.0 release, this release contains no new features, and is restricted to security updates in our third-party dependencies. Future 5.1 releases will also be restricted to serious bugfixes and security updates.
