 # Changelog
 
-## 1.2 (WIP)
+Note: prior versions all have their own branchs on GitHub. 
 
-- Make unit tests for Lab 7 escrow using new helper.
-- Add more animations
+## 1.2 Nov 13 2024
+
+- Move to token extensions for tokens
+- Significantly animations for DeFi examples, clean up display of PDAs for Anchor with tokens
+- Add newer Anchor debugging strategies and remove ones that have been fixed in 0.30.1.
+- Remove the NFT section temporarily - Metaplex tools from 1.1 are deprecated, we will upgrade to using Token Extensions when we move to Agave 2.x (which contains the necessary Token Group extension). See my bootcamp chapter if you want to [make NFTs with Metaplex and Umi](https://youtu.be/amAq-WHAFs8?t=13752)  
+- Add example of using Phantom Wallet on devnet alongside existing Solflare one, in order to avoid favoring any particular ecosystem technology. 
+- Better documentation around software versions and product offerings.

   - Multiple 90-inch monitor/TVs (one closer to back) as projector equivalents.

+The Solana Professional Education repo has everything you need for running Solana training events and instructing the courses.
 
 The training covers cryptography fundamentals, blockchain, and Solana from the ground up, with frequent hands-on labs. By the end of the training, students will be able to create and transfer tokens, mint NFTs, and build DeFi programs using Anchor on Rust.
 
 This repo has everything you need to plan and teach the course:
 
-- The [Instructor presentation](./Solana%20Professional%20Education.key). We use Keynote as there are animations in some slides, and other presentation tools don't have Keynote's 'magic move' or SVG support. There is also a [web version of the instructor presentation](https://www.icloud.com/keynote/001TXNMStPSD91jj5cS33eSbw#Solana_Professional_Education).
-- The files in [`labs`](./labs) are working solutions to each lesson's labs.

 > [!NOTE]  
 > If you want to attend a training event and learn Solana (rather than run a training event yourself), follow [@solana_devs on X](https://x.com/solana_devs), and we'll let you know when the next course is running in a city near you or on Zoom!
 
+## Versions
+
+The training is written and tested with the following software. Students should avoid using older or newer software - the objective of the course is to understand Solana rather than 
+
+ - node.js 22
+ - Solana CLI 1.18.x (whichever the latest 1.18 release is)
+ - Anchor 0.30.1.
