Cylc 8.5 Released

We have released cylc-flow 8.5.1

At 8.5.0, we introduced validation for the mail events and handler events configurations. Workflows would fail validation if invalid events were detected.

Quite a few workflows hit this error, so to avoid issues, 8.5.1 has demoted this validation error into a validation warning.
