True. I think supporting 3.8 is fairly high-prio, there's a lot of demand
for it. Doing a 1.3.2 release that supports it would make sense I guess.

There don't seem to be any new commits on the 1.2.x branch nor urgent
Python 2.7 fixes that need to go out. So do we need a 1.2.3 release?

Cheers,
Ralf
