| 17 | +<p>Saxon 12.7 was released on 16 May 2025. This release has been uploaded to the |
| 18 | +usual locations on the Saxonica website, GitHub, and Maven, PyPi, and NuGet. |

| 56 | +<h2>Issues resolved</h2> |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +<p>The substantial changes in this release are:</p> |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +<ol> |
| 61 | +<li>We’ve returned to supporting JDK 8 in 12.7. The decision to move to JDK 11 |
| 62 | +in 12.6 was intentional, but perhaps too eager. Fair warning: it is very |
| 63 | +unlikely that Saxon 13 will be released with support for JDK 8.</li> |
| 64 | +<li>We worked around a bug that caused the SaxonC products to fail under X86 emulation |
| 65 | +on Windows/ARM. (The bug is that Windows emulation doesn’t support some modern |
| 66 | +instructions that GraalVM was generating. We worked around it by turning down some |
| 67 | +GraalVM optimizations in that environment.)</li> |
| 68 | +</ol> |
