Hi all,

A new release 4.8.2 is available. I've done this extra stable release
not only because of some smaller but still annoying regressions in 4.8.
As Debian 13 is out, this may be the last 4.x release based on a Debian
12 container.

A big thanks to all contributors:
Cedric Hombourger, Felix Moessbauer, Jan Kiszka, Joao Marcos Costa

Highlights in 4.8.2
- kas: clean: avoid creation of tmp data to recover from full-disk scenario
- kas: avoid duplicate creations of tmpdir
- kas-container: fix host timezone propagation, resolving yocto breakage
- kas-container: restore git safe.directory exception outside of kas for GitLab CI
- kas-container: avoid collision of internal vars with environment
- kas-container: fallback to xterm if a TERM value is not supported
- docs: precisely describe where SHELL env var is in effect
- docs: add note on YAML support and its limitations
- docs: remove GnuPG limitation of repo verification
- docs: sphinx_kas_schema.py: support numbers in regex

Thanks,
Jan
