+The Apache Flink community is excited to announce the release of Flink 1.12.0!
Close to 300 contributors worked on over 1k tickets to bring significant
improvements to usability as well as new features that simplify (and unify)
Flink handling across the API stack.
+
+**Release Highlights**
+
+* The community has added support for **efficient batch execution** in the
DataStream API. This is the first milestone towards achieving a truly unified
runtime for both batch and stream processing.
+
+* **Kubernetes-based High Availability (HA)** was implemented as an
alternative to ZooKeeper for highly available production setups.
+
+* The Kafka SQL connector has been extended to work in **upsert mode**,
supported by the ability to handle **connector metadata** in SQL DDL.
**Temporal table joins** can now also be fully expressed in SQL, no longer
depending on the Table API.
Review comment:
If upsert is common, then let's keep it. I was otherwise thinking
something like "support for key/value update semantics".
Let's keep upsert in this case.
