+    *** Release 12.0.0 ***
+
+    Noteworthy changes compared to the previous release, 11.4.1:
+
+    Breaking changes:
+        - Re-introduce hash verification enforcement for files loaded under
+          UEFI Secure Boot (originally shipped in 11.2.0 and reverted in 11.2.1
+          pending the next major version bump). When Secure Boot is active,
+          Limine now requires an enrolled config checksum, BLAKE2B hashes on
+          all loaded file paths (with EFI chainloads exempted, as they rely on
+          firmware-side Secure Boot verification, and wallpaper and font files
+          silently skipped on a missing hash), unconditionally disables the
+          config editor, and forces `hash_mismatch_panic` to `yes`.
+        - The `interface_branding_colour` and `interface_help_colour` config
+          options now take an `RRGGBB` hexadecimal value instead of a 0-7
+          colour index. A new `interface_help_colour_bright` option has been
+          added to control the brighter accent colour used for the auto-boot
+          countdown digit.
+
+    New features:
+        - Re-introduce transparent gzip decompression for files, using a port
+          of embeddable pdgzip (CC0) by Kamila Szewczyk that provides
+          significantly better decode performance than the previous tinf-based
+          implementation.
+        - Major overhaul of the boot menu interface, including consistent
+          left-biased centering of all UI elements, ellipsis truncation of long
+          branding strings, shortened countdown text, and the removal of entry
+          name length limits.
+
+    Bug fixes:
+        - Fix NULL dereference in `gterm_init` cached path.
+        - Fix NULL dereference in the menu when `default_entry` is out of range
+          with `timeout=0`.
+        - Add a trailing fence after the `cbo.flush` loop in the RISC-V Zicbom
+          framebuffer flush path.
+        - Miscellaneous bug fixes.
+
+    Miscellaneous:
+        - Replace upstream `stb_image` with a hardened version.
+        - Bring back hand-written assembly versions of the x86-64 and IA-32
+          `mem*()` routines to mitigate performance regressions versus the C
+          implementations.
+        - Updated the Flanterm library to 3.1.1.
+        - Ship binary releases as tarballs in release assets, replacing the
+          previous separate git branch.
