Hey look, I did a thing!
Another small bugfix release: Flamenco 3.8.2. A few more bugs were squashed, most notably in the new web-based settings editor.

Flamenco is Blender's Open Source render farm software.
Flamenco 3.8.1 was just released! It has a single bugfix, which could cause the database file to grow under load.
