Edit:

Oh, and something I forgot to mention in the release commit:

There's a change to the makefile, which I needed to be able to run make dist.
(I already used this change in 4.19.3 even though it wasn't included in the release --I had also forgotten to include it--; I patched the source code after the 4.19.3 tag and before the make dist. This time I have included it in the git repository, but I forgot to mention it in the release notes.)
