Certbot 1.3.0 has just been released. The changelog entry for the release is:

## 1.3.0 - 2020-03-03

### Added

- Added certbot.ocsp Certbot’s API. The certbot.ocsp module can be used to  
determine the OCSP status of certificates.
- Don’t verify the existing certificate in HTTP01Response.simple\_verify, for  
compatibility with the real-world ACME challenge checks.

### Changed

- Certbot will now renew certificates early if they have been revoked according  
to OCSP.
- Fix acme module warnings when response Content-Type includes params (e.g. charset).
- Fixed issue where webroot plugin would incorrectly raise `Read-only file system`  
error when creating challenge directories (issue #7165).

More details about these changes can be found on our GitHub repo.

Potentially useful for the 3/4 revocations...  
But that may depend on how soon OCSP can respond with those revocations.
