Thanks for your hard work in moving the release forward!

#1937 highlights a bug in our tests (and failing tests, that aren't
currently showing up), so I would consider that the last blocker.

I'll try to get around to #1905, but if I don't that's also OK.

All of this can be done on a 0.12.x branch.

This change needs to be done on / merged onto master.

This again can happen on the 0.12.x branch.

I'd be happy to!

Thanks!
