+Version 1.2.1 - 2022-06-26
+==========================
+
+Bugfixes
+--------
+
+ * Fix "flickering drag select" effect in Chromium, by preventing
+ propagation of mouse events which Otter's JS has handled itself.
+
+ * Do not allow "r for rotate" to trump "r for roll" when dice and
+ rotateable pieces are both selected. Instead, suppress that keybinding
+ in that case.
+
+ * Fix documetation of
+ - Date of Version 1.2.0 in this changelog
+ - Format version status and release dates
+
+ * Developer release script and checklist improvements.
+
+
+Version 1.2.0 - 2022-06-24
+==========================
+
+General changes to game and UI
+------------------------------
+
+ * Counting pickup decks, hands, etc., now include un-occulatable
+ pieces in their count, not only occultable ones. This means
+ counting piles can now be used to count unoccultable pieces.
+
+ * Fiddle with CSS to try to get mouse cursor to update more promptly.
+ (This is still not perfect, probably due to browser misbehaviour.)
+
+ * otter(1): When printing game access URL, say in message that it's private
+
+ * Change monospace font to DejaVu Sans. Reportedly the previous font
+ was not always available, causing the chess clock to perhaps misrender.
+
+ * Add piece descriptions to more messages.
+
+ * UI improvements relating to selecting, wresting, and dragging:
+ - Mouse cursor shows differently when in wresting mode.
+ - Allow backspace to delete typed special count.
+ - Leave wresting mode when the user presses space.
+ - Allow rectangle select drag to start on pinned pieces. hands, etc.
+
+Otter CLI
+---------
+
+ * Provide set-access subcommand. Previously the game ACL could only
+ be adjusted by resetting the whole game, or abstruse alter-game-* runes.
+
+ * fix typo in usage message part concerning `otter reset`.
+
+Game client UI fixes
+--------------------
+
+ * Split a banknote (currency) when the user makes a counted click,
+ even if they are currently holding the note itself.
+ (previously this would simply unselect it).
+
+ * When pieces are newly inserted (inclidng on game reset), properly
+ record their description (for use in messages) and bbox.
+ Previously, the description would show as "undefined" until page reload.
+
+ * When pieces are deleted (including on game reset), properly remove
+ the client's idea of any active occultations they might have had.
+ Previously, "ghost" occultations would remain, causing dotted-line
+ grasp highlighting in places where the hands etc. were.
+
+ * When a player changes their nick, update this in the clients, so
+ that the new nick appears in the info pane and in the various affordances.
+
+ * Fix minor bugs in mouse click handling corner cases.
+
+Documentation
+-------------
+
+ * Correct the description of the shapelib group parameter `desc_template`.
+ (Previously this wrongly said the parameter was `desc`.)
+
+Demo (testing) game changes
+---------------------------
+
+ * Increase table size.
+ * Add a pickup deck.
+ * Fix a misindent in the spec file.
+
+Internal and testing chnages
+-----------------------------
+
+ * Server/client protocol change: Rename AddPlayer to SetPlayer.
+ * apitest: Suppress some hyper log messages by default.
+ * Add two debug console.log's to the JS code.
+ * Refactorings and internal comment updates.
+
+
+Version 1.1.0 - 2022-05-26
+==========================
+
+Bundle format
+-------------
+
+Introduced bundle format versions, and bundle format version `2`.
+Bundle format version `1` is still supported. There are significant
+changes and improvements in version `2`, available by writing
+`format=2`. See "Bundle compatibility" in the documentation.
+
+ * Handling of piece size and angle specification overhauled.
+ * New and better template substitution syntax.
+ * Fixed piece angle specification in game specs.
+
+Breaking change to otterlib CLI program
+---------------------------------------
+
+ * otterlib (the library preview utility, not normally needed for bundle
+ development) now needs to know the nwtemplates directory (so it can
+ properly process etc. magic library items).
+
+New features
+------------
+
+ * Dice, via the `Die` piece type.
+ * Currency (money, and similar things), via the `Currency` piece type.
+ * Shape libraries can provide canned "magic" items
+ (which are then based on the library's own image(s).
+ * `stack_pos` parameter for `PickupDeck` pieces, specifying where the
+ "neat pickup deck" should appear, so it doesn't have to central.
+ * otter CLI client: Allow uploading a directory directly as a
+ bundle zipfile (helpful for bundle development).
+ * Include piece description in some log messages.
+
+Fixes and improvements
+----------------------
+
+ * Do not randomly panic when trying to print truncated debug output
+ for non-ASCII piece HTML.
+ * Set default fonts for SVG processing: in bundle SVGs, at all (so
+ that text is not elided); in builtin libraries, more widely
+ (without effect on the existing pieces).
+ * Notice errors during JS startup, and display them.
+ * Correct sense of pin/unpin log message.
+ * Shape library previews: fix (and improve) the HTML (from otterlib).
+ * Fix a tiny rendering error in arrowheads.
+ * Test suite: `childio`: work around a Linux kernel race bug: you can
+ sometimes reap a child and then write to its pipe without EPIPE.
+ * Build system: run miri with +nightly, so that tests work when stable
+ Rust is the default. Document that these tests require nightly.
+ * Correct an error message about JSON serialisation.
+ * Remove some direct stderr debug prints from production code.
+ * Log message colourisation on a tty now leaves the logs more readable.
+ * Some improvements to bundle/shapelib loading error messages.
+
+Docs
+----
+
+ * Dcouemnt the semver stability promises.
+ * Publish the docs to an Otter-version-specific directory, so that
+ old docs versions are retained.
+ * Fix some formatting errors and typos.
+ * Correct some leftover todos.
+ * Clarify extra field syntax in shape library catalogue `files` entries.
+
+Protocol and model enhancements
+-------------------------------
+
+ * `multigrab`: pieces that can capture the number of pieces the user
+ says to grab, and instead handle the whole multigrab operation.
+ * `fastsplit`: pieces that can be split and merged during play
+ without having to rewrite the aux save file (containing SVG images).
+ * Non-mixing OccultIlk, for pieces which always remain distinguishable.
+ * Special rendering instructions, for pieces whose display involves
+ bespoke code in the TypeScript.
+ * OpOutcomeThunk system to allow piece implementations to be reinvoked
+ with an ability to make much wider mutable borrows.
+
+Build system, internal changes, etc.
+------------------------------
+
+ * Update to Rust 2021.
+ * Break out an additional `otter-support` crate (to try to
+ improve incremental build times).
+ * Use `ambassador` macro crate to help delegate trait impls.
+ * When formatting the Rust docs, pass `--document-private-items`.
+ (The Rust doc tree is for Otter developers.)
+ * Rationalised and sanitised the item import (`use`) practices.
+ * Refactoring in the test suite to support new tests.
+ * Fake time facility for testing.
+ * Concrete protocol: more Quiet PieceUpdateOps.
+ * Work around inkscape extension fail-to-save bug (seen in recolour).
+ * Reorganised and shuffled about `Outline` types.
+ * Avoid saving various things to savefiles that aren't needed
+ (mostly `None`s).
+ * Add some internal documentation about `ModifyingPieces`.
+ * Code motion to better organise shapelib.rs and utils.rs
+ * Centralised some UI properties in ui.rs.
+ * Made some type names more consistent (eg `GOccults`, `Catalogue`).
+ * Renamed some PacketFrame types etc. from MgmtChannel.
+ * Other minor improvements.
