v1.12.0 brings

• MySQL and multiple MariaDB versions for those that need them.
• New, smarter, fancier Windows installer
• Improved WordPress support

Installation/Upgrade

See the installation instructions for details, but it's easy:

• If you are on WIndows and use NFS, please stop nfsd first: sudo nssm stop nfsd
• Please stop all projects first, this does no harm: ddev poweroff
• If you have custom configuration, especially pinned image specifications in your .ddev/config.yaml, please remove it for now.
• macOS Homebrew and Linux Linuxbrew (ddev-edge channel only): brew install drud/ddev-edge/ddev or just brew upgrade drud/ddev-edge/ddev ). (You may need a brew update for homebrew to find the new release.)
• Windows: Use choco upgrade -y --pre ddev to get this one, or download the ddev_windows_installer below.
• And anywhere, you can just download the tarball or zipball, untar or unzip it, and place the executable in your path where it belongs.

Key Features of v1.12.0

• Improved WordPress support, with several bugs and documentation problems fixed
• Support for most versions of both MySQL and MariaDB (instead of just 10.1 and 10.2 of MariaDB) (docs)
• Completely redesigned and snazzy Windows installer, thanks to @gilbertsoft.
• New ddev launch command to start a browser on your project
• XDebug 2.8 supporting PHP 7.4

Smaller changes

• exec-host task operates in bash context so you can use environment variables, etc.
• Improved documentation, revamp of Apache Solr docs
• Bumped nodejs in web container to 12.x, drush to 8.3.1. sqlite3 command added to web container
• Many smaller bug fixes and tweaks
