Is a release planned for 2.1.20 today, or will it come later?

It's out. Although RC3 also works just fine, too. Can we please start giving them a little benefit of the doubt as this point?

The RCs or the KSP team 😝

This was more of a question about whether I should set aside time for updating today or not.

the KSP team. They almost always release within the same day as the kotlin release, it's silly that folks keep coming into here asking for ETAs mere hours after release given that context.

They're also on the west coast of the US, so your post is literally arriving tapping on their door for an ETA while they're just starting their day. It's a frivolous ask at best, just wait.

100% that.

And also my point was the the final RC of Kotlin is the same bytes as the stable release. This means that unless you are shipping a library to Maven Central which is targeting authors of KSP processors (i.e., API dependency on the KSP runtime library), any other kind of library and all applications are safe to use the version of KSP which targeted the final Kotlin RC with the version of Kotlin that is stable which will always work.

In most cases yes, although there are some plugins out there that are inferring certain things based on the exact version of KSP and Kotlin that your project uses (I think the last one that my projects use stopped doing that, but there might be others out there).
