+## FreeCol 0.12.0 (Unreleased) ##
+
+### Developer issues ###
+
+* **Java 8 is required to build FreeCol.**
+* Resource keys for same images in different resolution can now be added to support higher resolution images when zooming or using --gui-scale option.
+* All client-server interaction now *must* be asynchronous, as askExpecting() has been removed.
+* DOM is gone, and there was much rejoicing.
+
+### Common problems ###
+
+* Java 7 is no longer receiving active support, therefore the previous version of FreeCol switched to using Java 8 which is the currently supported release.  This hopefully fixed the problems that many Mac users have been experiencing.  If FreeCol 0.12.0 fails to run, check first if your installed Java libraries are up to date.
+
+#### Mac OS ####
+Running FreeCol in Full-screen mode on OSX is known to be problematic and may not work.
+
