+Important Updates In This Point Release
+***************************************
+
+Version 2.20.1
+--------------
+
++ Many PostgreSQL fixes, including fixing whine.pl on Pg 8
+ (bug 301062) and fixing the --regenerate option of collectstats.pl
+ for all versions of Pg (bug 316971). However, users who want full
+ PostgreSQL support are encouraged to use the 2.22 series, as
+ certain PostgreSQL bugs were discovered that will not be fixed
+ in 2.20 (their fixes were too complex).
+
++ In Bugzilla 2.20, the "administrator" user created by checksetup.pl
+ would not ever be sent email, because their email preferences were
+ left blank. This has been fixed for 2.20.1. However, if you created
+ this administrative user with Bugzilla 2.20, make sure to go back
+ and enable their Email Preferences. (bug 317489)
+
++ The bzdbcopy.pl script mentioned in these release notes
+ has now actually been checked-in to the 2.20 branch, and so
+ it's included in this release. (bug 291776)
+
++ When there's only one Classification, you now won't be required
+ to pick a Classification on bug entry. (bug 311489)
+
++ You can no longer add dependencies on bugs you can't see.
+ (bug 141593)
+
++ The CC list is included in "New" bug emails, again. (bug 313661)
+
++ In the original 2.20, certain scripts were not correctly using
+ the "shadow database," if it was specified. This has been fixed
+ in 2.20.1. (bug 313695)
+
++ "Saved Searches" that were saved before Bugzilla 2.20, would throw
+ an error if they contained "Days Since Bug Changed." as part of their
+ criteria. This has been fixed in Bugzilla 2.20.1. (bug 302599)
+
++ You can now successfully delete a product even when Target Milestones
+ are turned off. (bug 317025)
+
++ checksetup.pl now correctly pre-compiles templates for languages other
+ than English. (bug 304417)
+
++ The "All Closed" chart that is created by default in New Charts
+ now actually represents all closed bugs, and not all bugs in the
+ product. (bug 300473)
+
++ CSV bug lists with more than 1000 dates now work properly. (bug 257813)
+
++ Various bugs with upgrading from previous versions of Bugzilla
+ have been fixed. (bug 307662, bug 311047, bug 310108)
+
++ Many, many other bug fixes. See http://www.bugzilla.org/status/changes.html
+ for details on what was fixed between 2.20 and 2.20.1.

+Security Fixes in 2.20 Releases
+*******************************
+
+2.20.1
+------
+
+There were three security issues discovered after the release of
+Bugzilla 2.20 that we resolved for Bugzilla 2.20.1. One SQL Injection
+(from an administrator only), one Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability
+(that mostly affects only the user who can exploit it), and one minor,
+extremely specific information leak.
+
+To see details on the vulnerabilities that were fixed, see the
+Security Advisory at:
