1.020 seemed to be stable. Like 1.016, it was around for a long time, and 
therefore particularly well tested. There were some great bug fixes in 1.018 and 
1.019.

There's that substantive change about .init which happened in 1.017. If that's 
permanent, it'd be good to stop further development relying on the old behaviour.
I think we need a policy for when the 'stable version' should be updated.


Also, I don't see any mention of delimited string literals in the changelog. <g>
