May I humbly suggest to at least add a link to known open issues for 1.3 right next to the release download? Then at least a newbie knows what to expect.
It is a good idea to put known issues in the release notes. It would be a marketing mistake to do it like you suggest.
Thanks for all your effort!
Cheers, Bernhard

I am concerned about the error handling failure that I (easily) encountered, at least on Linux. Has anyone tried to reproduce it? How does that prevent from releasing 1.3?
If there are obscure bugs, they will be fixed in 1.4.
Or even in 1.3... (just added 3 fixes today).
The thing is that there are indefinit unknown problems. If we wait a week, for sure someone finds another.
"Release" does not mean "Bug free", because "bug free" does not exist. (and it is even harder in a system with a huge, historical code base and an undefined feature set... I am always amazed to learn new features that people seem to not be able to life without that I did not even know existed. How can we gurantee that these don't break? We just can't).
