Clawpack v5.8.2 released

[Randall J LeVeque]

Dear Clawpack Users,

We are happy to announce that Clawpack 5.8.2 has been released.

This version has very few changes from v5.8.1, but includes a bug fix in
amrclaw that also may be important in some geoclaw runs, and eliminates
segmentation faults that some users have observed.  If you have not been
plagued with seg faults, then the results obtained should be unchanged.

See the release notes for a summary of all changes:
