## Discourse 2.8.2 Stable Release

Discourse strongly recommends that all sites follow the default tests-passed branch of Discourse. The “stable” branch is more focused on _lack of change_ than _lack of bugs_ - all releases, including those on tests-passed and beta are production ready.

### Changes

#### Bug Fix:

- Fix bug regarding chat
- backport caret moves to a wrong position when uploading an image via toolbar
- Handle nil values in DistributedCache#defer\_get\_set

#### Developer:

- Backport Github test workflow to stable.
- Pull compatible version for plugins in Github test workflow.
- Don’t load bundler when installing plugin gem.
