 Pending changes in the mainline
 ===============================
 
+REST API
+-----------
+
+* Improved parsing of multiple numerical values in DICOM tags.
+  https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/qido-includefield-with-sequences/4746/6
+* Added "ExtendedApiV1" if you have a DB that supports it (the default SQLite DB
+  or PostgreSQL vX.X, MySQL vX.X, ODBC vX.X).
+  - /extended-api-v1/changes now supports 2 more options: 'type' to filter
+    the changes returned by the query and 'to' to potentially cycle through
+    changes in reverse order.
+    example: /extended-api-v1/changes?type=StableStudy&to=7584&limit=100
+
+
 Maintenance
 -----------
 
-* In C-Find queries including GenericGroupLength tags, Orthanc was still
-  extracting these tags from the storage although they were already ignored
-  and not returned in the response.  
-  They are now removed from the query earlier to avoid this disk access that 
-  could slow down the response time.  Note that this seems to happen mainly 
-  when the query originates from some GE devices (AWS).
+* DICOM TLS: "DicomTlsTrustedCertificates" is not required anymore when issuing
+  an outgoing SCU connexion when "DicomTlsRemoteCertificateRequired" is set to false.
+* Introduced a new thread to update the statistics at regular interval for the
+  DB plugins that are implementing the UpdateAndGetStatistics function (currently only
+  PostgreSQL).  This avoids very long update times in case you don't call /statistics
+  for a long period.
+
+
+Version 1.12.4 (2024-06-05)
+===========================
 
 REST API
 --------
 
 * API version upgraded to 24
 * Added "MaximumPatientCount" in /system
-* Added "ExtendedApiV1" if you have a DB that supports it (the default SQLite DB
-  or PostgreSQL vX.X, MySQL vX.X, ODBC vX.X).
-  - /extended-api-v1/changes now supports 2 more options: 'type' to filter
-    the changes returned by the query and 'to' to potentially cycle through
-    changes in reverse order.
-    example: /extended-api-v1/changes?type=StableStudy&to=7584&limit=100
+* Added a new "LimitToThisLevelMainDicomTags" field in the payload of 
+  /patients|studies|series/instances/../reconstruct to speed up the reconstruction
+  in case you just want to update the MainDicomTags of that resource level only 
+  (e.g., after you have updated the "ExtraMainDicomTags" for this level)
+* The "requestedTags" GET argument is deprecated in favor of "requested-tags"
+* Added "?whole" option to "/instances/{id}/tags" to access tags stored after pixel data
 
 Plugins
 -------
 
-* Multitenant DICOM plugin: added support for locales
+* Multitenant DICOM plugin: added support for locales.
+* Housekeeper plugin: 
+  - Added an option "LimitMainDicomTagsReconstructLevel"
+    (allowed values: "Patient", "Study", "Series", "Instance"). This can greatly speed
+    up the housekeeper process, e.g. if you have only update the Study level ExtraMainDicomTags.
+  - Fixed broken /instances/../tags route after running the Housekeeper
+    after having changed the "IngestTranscoding".
+* SDK: added OrthancPluginLogMessage() as a new primitive for plugins
+  to log messages. This new primitive will display the plugin name,
+  the plugin file name, and the plugin line number in the logs. If
+  they are not using the LOG() facilities provided by the
+  OrthancFramework, plugins should now use ORTHANC_PLUGINS_LOG_INFO(),
+  ORTHANC_PLUGINS_LOG_WARNING(), and ORTHANC_PLUGINS_LOG_ERROR().
+
+Maintenance
+-----------
+
+* C-Find queries:
+  - In C-Find queries including "GenericGroupLength" tags, Orthanc was still
+    extracting these tags from the storage although they were already ignored
+    and not returned in the response.
+    They are now removed from the query earlier to avoid this disk access that
+    could slow down the response time. Note that this seems to happen mainly
+    when the query originates from some GE devices (AWS).
+  - "TimezoneOffsetFromUTC" is now ignored for matching.
+* The 0x0111 DIMSE Status is now considered as a warning instead of an error
+  when received as a response to a C-Store.
+  See https://discourse.orthanc-server.org/t/ignore-dimse-status-0x0111-when-sending-partial-duplicate-studies/4555/3
+* Removed potential PHI from the logs when Orthanc encounters an error while
+  creating a ZIP archive.
+* Monitoring of stable resources now also takes into consideration the
+  resource type, not only the resource identifier identifier.
+* DICOM TLS:
+  - In prior versions, when "DicomTlsRemoteCertificateRequired" was set to false, Orthanc
+    was still sending a client certificate request during the TLS handshake but was not
+    triggering and error if the client certificate was not trusted (equivalent to the
+    "--verify-peer-cert" DCMTK option). Starting with Orthanc 1.12.4, if this option is
+    set to "false", Orthanc will not send a client certificate request during the TLS
+    handshake anymore (equivalent to the "--ignore-peer-cert" DCMTK option).
+  - When working with "DicomTlsEnabled": true and "DicomTlsRemoteCertificateRequired": false,
+    Orthanc was refusing to start if no "DicomTlsTrustedCertificates" was provided.
+  - New configuration options:
+    - "DicomTlsMinimumProtocolVersion" to select the minimum TLS protocol version
+    - "DicomTlsCiphersAccepted" to fine tune the list of accepted ciphers
+* Fixed broken /instances/../tags route after calling of
+  /studies/../reconstruct after having changed the "IngestTranscoding".
+* Upgraded dependencies for static builds:
+  - boost 1.85.0
