 ## Release Notes of the Log Layout Based HDF5 Virtual Object Layer
 
+### Version 1.2.0 (March 27, 2022)
+* New features
+  + Flush write requests before handling any read requests.
+* Update configure options
+  + `--enable-test-qmcpack` to enable tests using QMCPACK [default: disabled].
+    This option first downloads and builds QMCPACK. Its test program
+    `restart.c` will be tested during `make check`.
+  + `--enable-test-hdf5-iotest` to enable tests using hdf5-iotest [default:
+    disabled]. This option first downloads and builds hdf5-iotest. Its test
+    program `hdf5_iotest.c` will be tested during `make check`.
+  + `--enable-test-openpmd` to enable tests using OpenPMD [default: disabled].
+    This option first downloads and builds OpenPMD. Its test program
+    `8a_benchmark_write_parallel.c` and `8b_benchmark_read_parallel.c` will be
+    tested during `make check`.
+  + `--enable-test-netcdf4[=INC,LIB | =DIR]` to enable tests using NetCDF4
+    [default: disabled], and provide the NetCDF installation path(s):
+    `--enable-test-netcdf4=INC,LIB` for include and lib paths separated by a
+    comma. `--enable-test-netcdf4=DIR` for the path containing include/ and
+    lib/ subdirectories.  This option first downloads a few test programs from
+    NetCDF-C, which will be tested during `make check`.
+* Updated utility program
+  + h5ldump and h5lenv check for file signature before parsing files.
+  + Revise h5ldump command-line options. Option -H is to dump file header
+    metadata only. Option -k is to print the file kind only. Option -v is to
+    enable verbose mode.
+* Other updates:
+  + Supports NetCDF4 applications. See PR #15
+* Bug fixes
+  + `h5ldump` now can use either the native or log-based VOL depending on the
+    environment variable HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR. 
+  + `h5lreplay` now queries the dataset create property list `dcplid` before
+    extracting filters.
+  + `h5lreplay` now recognizes the internal objects of names prefixed with
+    double '_'.
+  + Fix metadata flush-after-read operations that corrupt the file.
+  + Fix write request not flushed properly after the first metadata flush.
+  + Fix memory error when writing filtered datasets.
+  + Fix a bug in dataspace selection when the least significant dimension of interleaving blocks contains more than one element.
+  + h5ldump and h5lenv return -1 if it fails to handle the file.
+* New test program
+  + NetCDF4 test programs are now downloaded from NetCDF release at make time.
+    See PR #15.
+  + HDF5 example programs are now downloaded from HDF5 releases at make time.
+    See PR #18.
+
 ### Version 1.1.0 (Feburary 11, 2022)
 * New features
   + Support multiple opened instance of the same dataset.
