Release 0.8.7

This release features thumbnails for the Asset Browser and for mesh, image and material resources. Further powerful workflow improvements like copy and pasting for any component properties and transformations make you even faster.

This release also brings a number of important rendering fixes for Oculus Quest and lots of stability to the editor.

Many thanks to our partners at playko, who sponsored features and bugfixes in this release.
