Very doubtful.. this Gnash release is several weeks too late to meet
8.2.0. We froze things quite a while ago.

My suggestion would be to find websites that work better in Gnash
0.8.4, then propose an 8.2.1 release including the upgrade:

I don't think we will play YouTube, regardless of whether 0.8.3 or
0.8.4 is shipped in 8.2.x. We don't ship the youtube-required
proprietary codecs.
