The first maintenance release of the 5.8 series of NAV is now out!

The source code is available for download at GitHub [1].

New packages for Debian 10 (Buster) and 11 (Bullseye) are available in
our APT repository [2] as usual. We haven't started building packages
for Debian 12 (Bookworm) yet, but hope to do so by the end of 2023.

Please be extra aware of config file changes. Look out for `*.dpkg-dist`
files in `/etc/nav` and make sure to update your running config.

Fixed
=====

-   Constrain version of 3rd party module ciscoconfparse, in order to
    avoid NAV not working under Python 3.7 (#2770, #2771)
-   Fix ipdevpoll crash error from using SNMP v2c profile example that
    came with NAV (#2767, #2768)
-   Gracefully handle encoding errors in invalid sysname/IP input in
    SeedDB IP Device form (#2764)
-   Gracefully handle errors from invalid profiles list input in SeedDB
    IP Device form (#2765)
