Hi All, We are proud to announce a 1.2.0 release candidate, this release is mainly a quality release with bug fixes and improvements, though some new features have been added too: - An Avro encode transform has been added allowing you to create avro records that can then be consumed by other transforms, the most important one being the kafka producer - The kafka transforms now support schema registry - ARM64 docker images are now available for both our images - The Chinese translations have had a major cleanup
