I've been pretty busy with other work all week and, as a result, I haven't had time to look at the 1.20 release. On September 30 (2 weeks ago) I sent out a message with what I saw as the blocker bugs at that point.
Only one of those bugs does not yet have any sort of resolution on it.

At this point, I think we should add a "known issues" section to the release notes and plan to have a 1.20.1 release with this so that I can put together an RC1 tarball tomorrow for you guys to test.
That said, some bugs have been added to the 1.20.0 milestone, but unless there is a major objection, I'd like to target those to the 1.20.1 release so that we don't hold up the 1.20.0 release any longer. These bugs could be listed in the "known issues" section of the release notes with a statement that we're planning a 1.20.1 release.
And, speaking of plans, I will have time to write up my ideas for a release schedule tomorrow. This will mean plans for future releases as well as support for 1.19 and 1.18.
Mark.
