 Notes for this release:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-This is version 1.2.5 of EduMIPS64, a bug-fix release that follows up on
-version 1.2.4, that was released in December 2017. The codename for this
-release is "Eden", as an homage to The Binding of Isaac, and also because
-gardening is nice.
+This is version 1.2.6 of EduMIPS64, a release that follows up on version 
+1.2.5, that was released in August 2018. This release contains a couple of
+changes, a new instruction alias (DMULU for DMULTU), an increased memory 
+size (640kB) and several bug fixes. 
+The codename for this release is Phlegmatic. First because it took a while
+to release a new version after 1.2.5. Second because I am releasing it while
+fighting with a bad and annoying cough, which I hope goes away as soon as
+possible.
 
-This release fixes issues with the cycles counter, which has always been
-off-by-one, improves the UI for large programs, fixes the parsing of
-load/store instructions' offsets and improves the handling of settings.
+This release reverts the build system change in 1.2.5: we went back from
+Bazel to Gradle. There was no real benefit in using Bazel, and Gradle is
+more supported by IDEs. The main advantage we got from the Bazel migration
+was better code modularity, and that benefit still remains.
 
-There is also a small new feature: the current CPU state is displayed in the
-status bar.
-
-A large change for developers is the migration to Bazel (http://bazel.io),
-which is now the only build system used by EduMIPS64 (superseding both Gradle
-and Ant).
+We are now using Azure Pipelines instead of Travis as a CI system.
 
 Please keep in mind that this is still EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE. It may
