+Release notes for Gerrit 2.12.3
+===============================
+
+Gerrit 2.12.3 is now available:
+
+link:https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/gerrit-2.12.3.war[
+https://gerrit-releases.storage.googleapis.com/gerrit-2.12.3.war]
+
+Gerrit 2.12.3 includes the bug fixes done with
+link:ReleaseNotes-2.11.8.html[Gerrit 2.11.8] and
+link:ReleaseNotes-2.11.9.html[Gerrit 2.11.9]. These bug fixes are *not*
+listed in these release notes.
+
+Schema Upgrade
+--------------
+
+*WARNING:* There are no schema changes from link:ReleaseNotes-2.12.2.html[
+2.12.2] but a manual schema upgrade is necessary when upgrading from 2.12.
+
+When upgrading a site that is already running version 2.12, the `patch_sets`
+table must be manually migrated using the `gerrit gsql` SSH command or the
+`gqsl` site program.
+
+For the default H2 database, execute the command:
+
+----
+  alter table patch_sets modify push_certficate clob;
+----
+
+For MySQL, execute the command:
+
+----
+  alter table patch_sets modify push_certficate text;
+----
+
+For PostgreSQL, execute the command:
+
+----
+  alter table patch_sets alter column push_certficate type text;
+----
+
+For other database types, execute the appropriate equivalent command.
+
+Note that the misspelled `push_certficate` is the actual name of the
+column.
+
+When upgrading from a version earlier than 2.12, or from 2.12.1 or 2.12.2
+having already done the migration, this manual step is not necessary and
+should be omitted.
+
+
