Prusa releases stable firmware 8.0.0 with NFC filament spool data

Prusa Research has published firmware 8.0.0 as a stable release for its current printer line, from the MINI and the MK4 family to the XL and CORE One. The main addition is for the CORE One and CORE One L: they can read filament information from spools carrying an NFC tag that follows the OpenPrintTag standard, and they track how much material is used. The teaser gives no further detail.
