Release 5.8.2.

• __version__ is 5.8.2 and __build__ is 0x050802.
• The changelog's Unreleased section becomes 5.8.2 (2026-11-02): SafeJSONDisk (PR Add SafeJSONDisk, a JSONDisk that never reads a pickle #33), SafeDisk.with_numpy() (PR Add SafeDisk.with_numpy() to store numpy arrays without pickling them #34), kept NaN values, the faster get and set (PRs Make Cache.get as fast on a hit as in 5.6.3 again #35, Make Cache.set faster by running fewer statements and less Python per write #37 and Make a plain Cache.get read less and reuse a cursor per thread #38), and installs on Python 3.8 (PR Fix stale docs and references #36). The cache.db schema and the file layout are unchanged.

After merging, pushing the tag v5.8.2 runs the release workflow, which checks the tag against __version__, builds, waits for approval of the pypi environment, publishes to PyPI through trusted publishing and creates the GitHub release from this changelog section. If this merges on a later day, the date in the changelog heading needs updating before the tag.
