The 2.12.8 train will soon get going, the release is planned for the end of November.
This release follows shortly after 2.12.7 to fix a few issues. Here is a list of noteworthy changes .
There is only one minor pull request open at this point. So now is a good moment to try a nightly build, we appreciate your feedback:

Any chance you upgrade to ASM 7?
Sorry, that will have to wait until after 2.13.0. Weβre only making small fixes in this release to compensate for a few regressions. For 2.12.9, we can see how the ASM 7 upgrade worked out in 2.13.0 and potentially back port it.

2.12.8 seems solid β Iβm not aware of any reports of significant, alarming regressions.
there are, however:
but both tickets are in longstanding trouble areas, so itβs more like existing breakage or limitations got rearranged/redistributed a little, rather than something brand new going wrong.
