It's unlikely that there will be an 8.2.0 release unless they add in the Obj-C/Java stuff into v8. Version numbers have been described in the past. I can't find the post but, as I remember it, it is something like:
v8 = Major change to Engine and IDE that would cause current projects to potentially no longer work due to additions or subtraction in functionality or a change in workflow. .1 = A major addition that will not affect previous projects but will add to the functionality of the previous (sub)release. .6 = A bug fix (more likely multiple bugs). DP/RC = Previews to make sure that any bug fixes do not have a knock on effect to other functionality. If it fails it moves up a DP/RC number till it is deemed stable and can be released as such. So, not too different to how it works in most software houses I think.
