 ## [Released]
 
+## [1.2.0] - 2024-02-13
+
+In this release we have automated the process of creating S3 Compliance Buckets. We have also done minor refactoring to the way how we track the CDK code for security findings using CDK NAG Tool as well as resolved a minor CVE finding. Please refer to the README and perform a manual deployment to have the `ComplianceLogBucketStack` deployed into your RES account.
