SDDM 0.12.0 released

We are proud to announce the immediate availability of SDDM 0.12.0.

This release features working Wayland sessions for the first time, but the greeter is still running on Xorg.

This means that you will be able to login into a Wayland desktop environment without problems however the greeter screen still depends on X11.

Work on the Wayland support for the greeter has already been started and will likely be available with the next release.
