Subject: [ANNOUNCE] nftables 0.8.2 release

Hi!

The Netfilter project proudly presents:

        nftables 0.8.2

This release fixes ./configure --with-xtables that enables interaction
between iptables-compat [1] and nft, and it also includes a bunch of
documentation updates.

This release introduces a new explicit option for interval sets, that
enables auto-merge of adjacent/overlapping elements when adding them to
the set, eg.

     table ip x {
            ...
            set y {
                    type ipv4_addr
                    flags interval
                    auto-merge
            }
     }
     # nft add element x z { 1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2, 1.1.1.2 }
