 v3.8.2 (XXXX-XX-XX)
 -------------------
 
+* Fix a rare shutdown race in RocksDBShaCalculatorThread. 
+
 * Reduce internal priority of AQL execution. This prevents possible deadlocks
   with modification operations in a cluster and replicationFactor >= 2, and can
   also improve responsiveness under high load of AQL queries.
