+## Version 2.12.0 Release Notes
+
+Compatible with OpenSearch 2.12.0
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+* Implement getSystemIndexDescriptors to support SystemIndex for replication plugin ([#1290](https://github.com/opensearch-project/cross-cluster-replication/pull/1290))
+* Correct error message including what fields are missing when field are not passed when starting replication ([#1292](https://github.com/opensearch-project/cross-cluster-replication/pull/1292))
+* Ignoring all the final settings to copy from leader to follower as those settings won't be able to apply as those are not updatable ([#1304](https://github.com/opensearch-project/cross-cluster-replication/pull/1304))
