+Changes in 1.12.1
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Released: 2021-10-08
+
+The security fix in the 1.12.0 release failed when used with some
+older versions of libseccomp (that don't know about the new syscalls).
+
+More specifically, installing modules that use extra-data would fail, and so
+would running applications with the --allow=multiarch feature, such as Steam.
+This release fixes those regressions.
