+The 1.12 branch is only adequate for systems requiring makewhatis(8)
+and apropos(1) support but lacking either SQLite3 or fts(3).
+Otherwise, please migrate to the 1.13 branch.
+See the INSTALL file for details.
+
 This file lists the most important changes in the mdocml.bsd.lv distribution.
 
+Changes in version 1.12.4, released on August 20, 2014
+The following bugfixes are not yet contained in 1.13.1:
+
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, a NULL pointer dereference was fixed for .Bl
+   macros having no type and none of -width, -offset, or -compact
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, a NULL pointer dereference was fixed that could
+   be triggered by invalid macro sequences like .Bl -hang .It Bo .Sh.
+ * In the mdoc(7) parser, an assertion crash was fixed that could be
+   triggered by stray .It macros right after .El.
+ * In the man(7) parser, a memory leak was fixed that could be triggered
+   by certain macros occurring at invalid positions inside .RS and .UR.
+ * In all formatters, interpretation of scaling units was corrected.
+ * In the escape sequence formatter, an out-of-bounds buffer read access
+   was fixed that could be triggered by certain invalid escape sequences.
+
