v0.12.1 - Web 8 init (dot one)
We'd like to announce the 0.12.1 release of core-lightning, named by @adi2011.
This is a point release with a few bug fixes and build improvements: it's a recommended upgrade from 0.12.0, with no new features.
For a list of differences, please see [v0.12.0..v0.12.1](https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/compare/v0.12.0...v0.12.1).
## Highlights for Users
- Now with fewer bugs!
- Topology plugin could crash when it sees duplicate private channel announcements.
- `getinfo` no longer displays unannounced addresses; shows correct port for discovered IP addresses.
- Newly created channels sometimes were inexplicably disconnected, this has been fixed!
## Highlights for the Network
- Bad gossip store reads and gossip propagation fixed.
## Highlights for Developers
- Reliance on `mistune` and `mrkd` python libraries has been removed.
Since v0.12.0 we've had 26 commits from 5 different contributors over 29 days.
