+### 1.12.5
+
+The fifth (and likely last) 1.12 bug-fix release (1.12.5) was released on
+28 March 2018. This release only contains bugfixes and it should be safe to
+update from 1.12.x.
+
+The 1.12 series has now been superseded by the 1.14 stable release series,
+and users should upgrade at their earliest convenience.
+
+#### Bugs fixed in 1.12.5
