hey folks! the first

a

(“alpha”) release for 2.12.0 is available! • https://pypi.org/project/pantsbuild.pants/2.12.0a0/ alpha releases are a new type of release for Pants: they are the first release of their stable branch. so while they have not had any more vetting than a

dev

release has had, they will eventually evolve into release candidates before becoming a stable release.
