+   <h3>July 26, 2012 - Apache Flume 1.2.0 Released</h3>
+
+The Apache Flume team is pleased to announce the release of Flume version 1.2.0.
+
+Apache Flume 1.2.0 is the third release under the auspices of Apache of the
+so-called "NG" codeline, and our first release as a top-level Apache
+project! Flume 1.2.0 has been put through many stress and regression tests,
+is stable, production-ready software, and is backwards-compatible with
+Flume 1.1.0.
+
+Four months of very active development went into this release: a whopping
+192 patches were committed since 1.1.0, representing many features,
+enhancements, and bug fixes. While the full change log can be found in the
+link below, here are a few new feature highlights:
+
+* New durable file channel
+* New client API
+* New HBase sinks (two different implementations)
+* New Interceptor interface (a plugin processing API)
+* New JMX-based monitoring support
+
+This release can be downloaded from the Flume download page at:
+http://flume.apache.org/download.html
+
+The change log and documentation are available on the 1.2.0 release page:
+http://flume.apache.org/releases/1.2.0.html
+
+Your help and feedback is more than welcome!
