+# 5.12.0
+Released 28th February 2024
+
+**For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition 1.20.60**
+
+This is a minor feature release, with a few new features and improvements.
+
+**Plugin compatibility:** Plugins for previous 5.x versions will run unchanged on this release, unless they use internal APIs, reflection, or packages like the `pocketmine\network\mcpe`  or `pocketmine\data` namespace.
+Do not update plugin minimum API versions unless you need new features added in this release.
+
+**WARNING: If your plugin uses the `pocketmine\network\mcpe` namespace, you're not shielded by API change constraints.**
+Consider using the `mcpe-protocol` directive in `plugin.yml` as a constraint if you're using packets directly.
+
+## General
+- Added a `--version` command-line option to display the server version and exit.
+
+## Tools
+- Added `tools/generate-biome-ids.php` to generate `pocketmine\data\bedrock\BiomeIds`.
+- Fixed ordering of property values generated by `tools/generate-block-palette-spec.php`.
+
+## API
+### `pocketmine\block`
+- The following new classes have been added:
+  - `utils\LightableTrait` - used by blocks with `getLit()` and `setLit()` methods
+- The following methods have been deprecated:
+  - `Block->isSolid()` - this method returns confusing results which don't match expectations and no one really knows what it actually means
+- `CocoaBlock` now extends `Flowable` to match vanilla Minecraft behaviour.
+
+### `pocketmine\plugin`
+- `PluginManager->registerEvent()` now throws an exception when given a generator function for the event handler.
+- `PluginManager->registerEvents()` now throws an exception if any of the detected event handlers are generator functions. Use `@notHandler` to have the function ignored if intended.
+
+### `pocketmine\promise`
+- The following methods have been added:
+  - `public static Promise::all(list<Promise> $promises) : Promise` - returns a promise that is resolved once all given promises are resolved, or is rejected if any of the promises are rejected.
+
+### `pocketmine\scheduler`
+- The following methods have been deprecated:
+  - `AsyncWorker->getFromThreadStore()` - use class static properties for thread-local storage
+  - `AsyncWorker->removeFromThreadStore()`
+  - `AsyncWorker->saveToThreadStore()`
+
+## Documentation
+- Improved documentation of various methods in `Block`.
+
+## Gameplay
+- The following new items have been added:
+  - Name Tag
+
+## Internals
+- Removed specialization of shutdown logic for `Thread` vs `Worker` (no specialization is required).
+- Authentication system no longer accepts logins signed with the old Mojang root public key.
+- ID to enum mappings in `pocketmine\data` now use a new `match` convention to allow static analysis to ensure that all enum cases are handled.
+- Updated version of `pocketmine/bedrock-protocol` allows avoiding decoding of some itemstack data from the client in most cases, improving performance.
