Apparently RC2 was absolutely perfect and bug-free so I tagged 1.2.20 in git and pushed signed tarball and rpms to the usual place earlier today : ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/ This is a relatively small release with less than 150 commit but since it includes a security update people are really invited to update.
