It's the first of the month, and we have two releases today.

1. We have tagged "Release-2.0.12" and moved the "release" branch to that 
position. This is the new stable production release, and we guarantee full 
backward API/ABI/link compatibility compared to prior 2.0.x releases. This is a 
very minor fix compared to 2.0.11, appropriately indicating that 2.0 support 
has slowed to important bug fixes only.

Release 2.0.12 (1 Nov, 2019) -- compared to 2.0.11
--------------------------------------------------
* Fix compiler warnings on some platform. #2375
* Work around bug in OpenEXR, where dwaa/dwab compression can crash when
  used on 1-channel tiled images with a tile size < 16. This can crop up for
  MIP-maps (high levels where rez < 16), so we detect this case and switch
  automatically to "zip" compression. #2378


2. We have also branched 2.1 and tagged Release-2.1.7-beta. This has many big 
changes (and potential compatibility breaks) compared to 2.0. I encourage you 
all to try it and report any problems. Please see the CHANGES.md in that branch 
for the full list of enhancements and fixes.

My plan is to let the beta span the course of Novmber, with a goal of declaring 
a true 2.1 release on December 1, at that point 2.1 then becoming the fully 
supported stable release branch and 2.0 fading to be an obsolete branch that 
will only get sporadic updates to address the most critical bugs.

During the beta period, there may be some last minute touch-ups that change the 
API/ABI, but once we hit release candidates at the end of the month, the API 
and ABI will be frozen as befitting a supported release.

For the moment, master will continue to track the 2.1 betas, but at the moment 
that we have a PR that we agree should not be incorporated into 2.1 (because 
it's risky or breaks compatibility), master will diverge and truly be the 
pre-2.2 work area.
