WordPress 5.2.1 was released on May 21. This maintenance release fixes 33 bugs, including improvements to the block editor, accessibility, internationalization, and the Site Health feature introduced in 5.2.

You can browse the full list of changes on Trac. Openstream has also added the missing de_CH formal and informal translations. There were only 2 new strings introduced in this version, but the translation has to be at 100% for the release packages to be generated.
