Reason for 5.12.1 release

[keymaster]

Hallo,
why is there a unplanned release 5.12.1 before 5.13?

Actually, we planned for an intermediary release since the day we released 5.12.
However, we first though of just using the Maven 5.13-SNAPSHOT version, but decided that this wouldn't give justice to the release.
Since it contains some really important fixes, we argued that having a proper version number would make it easier (psychologically) to upgrade versus the SNAPSHOT version.

OK, sounds good. Can I find some release notes like these (for 5.12.0)

No, sorry, I think we simply forgot to do that. But it's basically all the jira issues closed before the release date 😉
