Hey all,
Well. I tagged this release on Wednesday. I drafted this email, uploaded everything, ran the script to update patchwork...and forgot to send the email. So now it's three days after the scheduled release day. As I noted in an email yesterday, it slipped my (calender reminders really..) mind Monday, and rather than rush it out yesterday, I said I would do it today. So here we are. There's certainly a few more PRs I expect to come in, and in general I hope custodians will look for ways to justify including things which have been ready for a while, but didn't get a PR out in time, rather than restricting themselves for the next window. So long as things are well contained of course.
In terms of a changelog, git log --merges v2020.10..v2021.01-rc1 contains what I've pulled but as always, better PR messages and tags will provide better results here.
I do have my reminders setup for doing -rc releases every other Monday from here on out and final release on January 11th, 2021. Thanks all!
