I'm still working on it.
My spare time is limited and the changes by Werner requires a lot of
meticulous edits.

If you want to release tomorrow, let me know and I'll push tonight
what I manage to do. Then the rest of the update might be included in
2.20.2.
Or, if you prefer waiting for the whole italian update, I will advise
when I've completed it. I cannot say now how long it will take
exactly. Probably not before tomorrow night.

My principle plan would be to tell Phil to go ahead (after receiving the
last OK from people doing last-minute work) at a point of time where he
thinks he may be somewhat responsive in the followup days, just in case
something hits the fan.

One interesting consideration is that the VERSION file upon release
should look like

PACKAGE_NAME=LilyPond
MAJOR_VERSION=2
MINOR_VERSION=20
PATCH_LEVEL=0
MY_PATCH_LEVEL=
VERSION_STABLE=2.20.0
VERSION_DEVEL=2.20.0

basically announcing the same versions as stable and unstable since
2.20.0 will both be the latest stable release as well as the latest
release altogether.  Things will normalise once we get a followup
unstable release.

I seem to remember that if we declared VERSION_DEVEL to point to a yet
unreleased 2.21.0, the links would essentially end up dead.

So there are little quirks like that accompanying a stable release that
might cause followup work.  So "last day of weekend" sounds only
sensible if Phil is not considerably unavailable afterwards.

My replies have a tendency to cause friction.  To help mitigating
damage, feel free to forward problematic posts to me adding a subject
like "timeout 1d" (for a suggested timeout of 1 day) or "offensive".


I am generally available for the next few weeks. I would think it better to wait a few days to get the translations stable, since it will take me a little while to get my head round what's needed for a new stable release.

I think that VERSION_DEVEL will need to be 2.19.84 for this release, otherwise we won't have any links to "development" documentation.
