1-51: Release notes content looks well-structured and clear.

The document effectively explains the new key management features in Stratis 3.8.2, provides clear descriptions of the VolumeKeyLoaded property behavior, documents subsequent patch releases and their purposes, and links to upstream changelogs for additional details. The formatting and flow are appropriate for release notes documentation.
