What's new in 1.20.1
This is a minor bug fix release addressing several issues that were found in 1.20.0: - Fix a crash while evaluating matching relational operator with constant arguments (#1495). - Fixed several regressions in coverage report generation (#1490, #1494). - Several other minor bugs were resolved (#1498, #1505, #1512, #1496). Special thank you to @bpadalino, @tmeissner, @Blebowski, @amb5l, @m42uko, @a-panella, @cmarqu, @albydnc, @johonkanen, and @augustofg for sponsoring me!
