This issue is to coordinate the creation and tracking of the release_v4.8.2 branch from develop.

Branch Details

• Version: v4.8.2
• Branch to create: release_v4.8.2
• Base branch: develop

Tasks

• Create release_v4.8.2 branch from develop
• Push final PRs to release_v4.8.2 (e.g., version bump, changelog, fixes, features)
• Perform QA and testing on release_v4.8.2
• Merge release_v4.8.2 back to master when testing is complete
• Tag GreatVoyage-v4.8.2(Pyrrho) on master and release
• Merge master back to develop (if applicable)

Notes

Once the release_v4.8.2 branch is created, it will act as the staging area for all final updates and fixes for this release.
Any non-release-related changes should continue in develop.
