Starting with version 4.13, strace follows the schedule of linux kernel
and new versions of strace are released along with new version of linux
kernel, so strace 4.20 is tagged and uploaded.

strace 4.20 would not be as good as it is without significant assistance
by Eugene Syromyatnikov.

This release is a relatively small one, besides new NETLINK_NETFILTER
code it's essentially a "catch up with the kernel" release.
Most of new interesting features developed this summer
will hopefully be merged in the next release.

$ git tag -v v4.20 2> /dev/null | sed -n '/^$/,$p'
