I would like to cut a new release on Monday or Tuesday, preferably one that will include #1576.

I think most changes in the changelog are backwards-compatible, so we could do 40.5.0, but depending on your view, #1554 or #1545 may be considered backwards-incompatible. I'd also like to get #1559 merged, and I consider that a bugfix, but it's possible that people might consider it backwards incompatible. Anyone have thoughts on whether we should do 40.5.0 or 41.0.0?

Also, is there anything that anyone wants to get prioritized for inclusion in the next release?
