+
+We are pleased to announce the [release](https://github.com/coredns/coredns/releases/tag/v1.2.0) of
+CoreDNS-1.2.0!
+
+In this release we have a new plugin, bump etcd to version 3 and bugfixes.
+
+# Core
+
+Enable watch functionality when CoreDNS is used as a gRPC server (documented in the code - for now).
+
+# Plugins
+
+* A new plugin called [*metadata*](/plugins/metadata) was added. It adds metadata to a query, via the context.
+* The [*etcd*](/plugins/etcd) plugin now supports etcd version 3 (only!). It was impossible to support v2 *and* v3 at
+  the same time (even as separate plugins); so we decided to drop v2 support.
+* Fix a race/crash in the [*cache*](/plugins/cache) plugin when `prefetch` is enabled.
+* The [*forward*](/plugins/forward) plugin has a `prefer_udp` option, that even when the incoming query is over TCP, the
+  outgoing one will be tried over UDP first.
+* [*secondary*](/plugins/secondary) plugin has a bug fix for zone expiration: don't expire zones if we can reach the
+  primary, but see no zone changes.
+* The [*auto*](/plugins/auto) plugin now works better with Kubernetes Configmaps.
