All right, we have this build ready, and we're uploading it and putting the release announcements together as we speak. Not a lot to say outside of that. The core UI is locked in, and there are not a lot of user experience elements left to tweak. We do have a desktop icon fix in the works, but it'll be for 0.21.0.
On a personal level, we've had a positive development. As some of you know, I live in a more rural part of the American South, where the infrastructure isn't always so good, especially since the internet is largely a monopoly. Well, the original ISP was bought up by another company, which finally decided to update the old copper wires with fiber. For the last month, I was barely getting 200kb per second uploads. The last week? 22-40kbs. On Friday after the new hookup was finished, I was hitting 230mb per second, which isn't lightning fast, but it makes life a lot easier on my end. Instead of days of uploading new builds, I can be done in an hour.
Also of note, we'll be releasing the 1.00.1 build of Now & Then shortly. There's no new content in this build, but a bunch of code and copy cleanup. Consider it the final release for those not wanting to download 0.99.0 and then the patch. A notice for that will go out in the next week or two.
Here's the release schedule for 0.20.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):
