* We also generate a separate 2021a1 version, which is like 2021a except with the Samoa change that is prompting 2021b. This version recognizes the concerns about the number of changes to pre-1970 timestamps in 2021b. I'll do this by publishing a patch to 2021a, along with a patched tarball, on my website at UCLA.
I'm slightly worried that people have grown to depend on the \d+[a-z]+ format for version numbers, so this choice of version might break some things. Thanks, Florian
