+## Announcing Akri v0.12.9!
+Akri v0.12.9 is a pre-release of Akri.
+
+To find out more about Akri, check out our [documentation](https://docs.akri.sh/) and start
+[contributing](https://docs.akri.sh/community/contributing) today!
+
+## New Features
+The v0.12.9 release contains the following changes:
+
+1. **Configuration-level resource support** (https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/627). This implements the [proposal](https://github.com/project-akri/akri-docs/blob/main/proposals/configuration-level-resources.md#configuration-level-resources) of exposing resources at the Configuration level. This allows users to select resources to use at the configuration-level without having know the instance ID beforehand. 
+2. **Support discoveryProperties in the Configuration** (https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/619). This implements the [proposal](https://github.com/project-akri/akri-docs/pull/61) for allowing users to specify credential data through the discoveryProperties section in the configuration. The Agent can read these properties and pass them to the discovery handlers for discovering authenticated devices. This provides a native K8s experience by supporting K8s Secrets and K8s configMaps. 
+3. **Enable ONVIF discovery handler and broker to discover and access authenticated devices** (https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/638, https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/646). This allows the ONVIF discovery handler to discover IP cameras and other ONVIF devices that require authentication. Once authenticated devices are discovered using the credential data passed through, the broker can also access the data from these devices using the device UUID to look up credentials from the credential directories and authenticate the device.

+
+## Breaking Changes
+1. With [the ONVIF discovery handler using UUID_serviceUrl as the device ID](https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/630) this changes the hash ID in the Akri instance of the discovered camera. Now, the ONVIF discovery handler always exposes the device UUID in device properties.
+2. With [the IP/MAC address filtering in device properties becoming optional](https://github.com/project-akri/akri/pull/640), the ONVIF discovery handler only expose the IP/MAC addresses when it is able to get them from the device. Retrieving the IP/MAC address requires credentials, so if none are provided, the discovery handler reports the devices without exposing the IP/MAC addresses in properties.
