[Rivet] Rivet 1.8.2 beta available for test

[Andy Buckley]

No problem at all Anton! Thanks for the check. We have a few more
analyses dribbling in, and should be able to get the release out this
week. Phew!

I don't think another check is needed for the new analyses, even if you
could/would add them to the system: they are being explicitly validated
anyway, and we just want to make sure for each release that we've not
broken something in the existing analyses that you have on the site.

Thanks again, and happy Christmas :)
Andy
