Release date of 4.19.0

[pantosha]

I have a question

There is no minor release since last year. What is your best guess for 4.19.0 release date?

I'd be interested to know this too. I can see lots of PRs in the main repo, so lots of work going on, but no releases.

This is a becoming key component given the rise of GenAI chatbots, so would be interested to hear about the direction this is going in.
