 # Changelog
 
+## Dendrite 0.12.0 (2023-03-13)
+
+### Features
+
+- The userapi and keyserver have been merged (no actions needed regarding the database)
+- The internal NATS JetStream server is now using logrus for logging (contributed by [dvob](https://github.com/dvob))
+- The roomserver database has been refactored to have separate interfaces when working with rooms and events. Also includes increased usage of the cache to avoid database round trips. (database is unchanged)
+- The pinecone demo now shuts down more cleanly
+- The Helm chart now has the ability to deploy a Grafana chart as well (contributed by [genofire](https://github.com/genofire))
+- Support for listening on unix sockets has been added (contributed by [cyberb](https://github.com/cyberb))

+
+### Fixes
+
+- The `session_id` is now correctly set when using SQLite
+- An issue where device keys could be removed if a device ID is reused has been fixed
+- A possible DoS issue related to relations has been fixed (reported by [sleroq](https://github.com/sleroq))
+- When backfilling events, errors are now ignored if we still could fetch events
+- `m.room.server_acl` events are now correctly handled when joining federated rooms (reported by [sleroq](https://github.com/sleroq))
+
+### Other
