+
+The Apache Flink community released the first bugfix version of the Apache
Flink 1.12 series.
+
+This release includes 79 fixes and minor improvements for Flink 1.12.0. The
list below includes a detailed list of all fixes and improvements.
+
+We highly recommend all users to upgrade to Flink 1.12.1.
+
+<div class="alert alert-danger small" markdown="1">
+<b>Attention:</b>
+Using UnalignedCheckpoints in Flink 1.12.0 combined with two/multiple inputs
tasks or with union inputs for single input tasks can result in corrupted state.
+
+This can happen if a new checkpoint is triggered before recovery is fully
completed. For state to be corrupted a task with two or more input gates must
receive a checkpoint barrier exactly at the same time this tasks finishes
recovering spilled in-flight data. In such case this new checkpoint can
succeed, with corrupted/missing in-flight data, which will result in various
deserialisation/corrupted data stream errors when someone attempts to recover
from such corrupted checkpoint.

+Notice:
+<ul>
+<li>The DockerHub <a href='https://hub.docker.com/_/flink'>official images</a>
for Apache Flink 1.12.1 are temporary missing. As an alternative, the images
are currently available on the Flink PMC managed <a
href='https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/flink'>registry</a>. This is now also the
default for the Native Kubernetes deployments. The Flink PMC will keep working
with the DockerHub team to deliver the official images.</li>
+<li>The source and python 3.8 linux wheel packages for Apache Flink 1.12.1 are
temporary missing on <a href='https://pypi.org/project/apache-flink'>PyPI</a>,
due to the project space limit. The request for increasing the space limit is
currently under the PyPI review process. During this time, attempts to use the
missing packages will fall back to the 1.12.0 packages.</li>
Review comment:
What about removing `During this time, attempts to use the missing
packages will fall back to the 1.12.0 packages.` as I guess it may cause
confusion for users as this only holds when all the following conditions hold:
- users install pyflink without specifying the version, e.g. "pip install
apache-flink"
- Python version is 3.8
- The OS is linux
Besides, what about adding `During this period, you can <a
href='https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.12/flinkDev/building.html#build-pyflink'>build
the package manually</a> if needed.` to guide users what to do during this
time period?
