UCO 1.2.0 incorporates required refinements and updates, building on the stable 1.0.0 release. Following SemVer, additive improvements will continue to be accepted, but backwards-incompatible changes will be scheduled only for the 2.0.0 release, which will come after at least 6 months to possibly 12 months.
This release includes additive updates as well as exercising a process for introducing backwards-incompatible changes in preparation for UCO 2.0.0. A new feature incorporates construction of support for offline development with some ontology tools that require local-file substitution for imported IRIs. Community member testing identified and mitigated environmental assumptions revealed by exercising UCO with processing frameworks not included in Cyber Domain Ontology automated testing. Some mobile device property cardinalities are now relaxed care of a user encountering and reporting an encountered, uncommon device configuration. Vocabularies have expanded to cover further cryptography needs. One bug fix in class alignment for a “Data structure” class (types:Thread) has introduced a backwards-incompatible fix for the 2.0.0 release cycle, with a warning now being raised within the 1.x.0 release cycle if the future pattern enforcement will fail.
(These are changes to ontologies, classes or properties in the preexisting ontology that make the new release non-backward-compatible.)

observable:StorageMediumFacet and observable:totalStorageCapacityInBytes (GitHub Issue 501)observable:IMEI now has an unrestricted cardinality within observable:MobileDeviceFacet (GitHub Issue 521)vocabulary:ObservableObjectRelationshipVocab now includes Signed_By (GitHub Issue 525)vocabulary:HashNameVocab now lists SHA-3 hash functions (GitHub Issue 526)(These are bugs found within the preexisting ontology that have been fixed.)
observable:creationTime with observable:observableCreatedTime (GitHub Issue 508)types:Thread with core:UcoThing subclass hierarchy; consequently added CI tests to ensure core:UcoObject and co:Collection are disjoint in accordance with current implementation patterns (GitHub Issue 509)UcoThing-indentifier-regex-shape (GitHub Pull Request 510)Generated documentation is available at this site:
