Release new version

[JannisNe]

When is the next version release planned?
It would be great to have the stability fix in #392 on PyPI to use in other packages!

I don't think we're ready for a 1.5 just yet, there are a few items that would likely need to wait until after the interop (imo addressing #429 would be nice to get into 1.5 if the maintainers agree).

OTOH, we kind of kept milestoning some of the bugfixes as 1.4.1, so branching out, and going through all the PRs systematically and backporting etc could be an interim solution. What do you @tomdonaldson @msdemlei and @andamian think?

Nothing against a quick bug fixes 1.4.1 release.

A bugfix release would be charming, but I'll be honest: I don't think I'll find time for that in the next few weeks.

That's OK, I'll make the release. But someone needs to add me to pypi as from the 6 who could do a release only 2 are active in the repo.

Hi, what is the status on this?

[bsipocz]

Release v1.4.1 is now on pypi.

Note to maintainers: I've turned off squash merging as that feature makes the backport scripts a total nightmare. Pro the backport scripts: I made a huge historical spring clean in the changelog, too.

Rogers that! Thanks for the release, @bsipocz
