MCD12Q1 - Available years

I'm exploring MCD12Q1 v006 (MODIS Land Cover Type) for some land use change analysis, and I noticed that its temporal extent is "2001-01-01 to 2019-12-31".
Why as of today I can't find MCD12Q1 for the year 2020?
Is it planned to continue generating this product for the following years (2020 - ...)?
In which period of the year a new yearly product is released?
Thank you in advance

It usually takes almost a year after the final day of the specific year to complete the data. This year however may take a little longer because it is all going to be processed into Version 6.1.
Thanks,

Thank you.
Do you mean that every year from 2001 to today will be reprocessed?
Just to be clear, is Version 6.1 a different version from Version 6?

Yes, all years will be processed into Version 6.1 and Version 6 will cease forward processing, and after several months V6 will be purged from the archive completely.
Thanks
