We are pleased to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.12.0, the first in the v3.12 stable series.

New features and noteworthy new packages

• Initial support for mips64 (big endian).
• Initial support for D programming language.

Significant updates

• Linux 5.4.43
• GCC 9.3.0
• LLVM 10.0.0

• Node.js 12.16.3
• Nextcloud 18.0.3

Upgrade notes

• After upgrading to OpenSSH >= 8.2_p1, the server will not accept new connections until it is restarted
• There is no longer a python package providing python2. You need to explicitly install python2 or python3. Additionally, as part of the ongoing work to remove python2, many python2 modules have been removed.
