Release 5.8.5.

• __version__ is 5.8.5 and __build__ is 0x050805.
• The changelog's Unreleased section becomes 5.8.5 (2026-11-11), with a one-line summary. Its one entry is the dbname argument of Cache.

After merging, pushing the tag v5.8.5 runs the release workflow. It checks the tag against __version__, builds, waits for approval of the pypi environment, publishes to PyPI through trusted publishing and creates the GitHub release from this changelog section. If this merges on a later day, the date in the changelog heading needs updating before the tag.

Testing

• pytest with the CI test dependencies: 1004 passed, 2 skipped on Python 3.12.
• A local dry run of the release build passes: sdist and wheel build, twine check --strict.
• The linters and the Sphinx build were not rerun locally for this change, which touches only the version and the changelog.
