Hello,

I'm announcing west v0.12.0.

This release contains MSYS2 support, as well as a new feature that lets you attach arbitrary user data to any project, and access it using the west APIs.

Release links:

• PyPI
• GitHub release
• Release notes

To upgrade:

• Ubuntu: pip3 install --user west==0.12.0

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release's development, testing, documentation, and review!
