# GoReleaser 2.12

This overview applies to target GoReleaser versions of at least `2.12`.

- Experimental `dockers_v2` builds multi-platform images directly with `docker buildx`, removing the old `dockers` plus `docker_manifests` wiring and intermediate architecture tags.
- Snapshot `dockers_v2` builds expand by platform into local architecture-tagged images so validation does not require a registry push.
- Makeself packaging creates self-extracting Linux archives.
- Docker image attestations extend release supply-chain metadata.
- Semantic-version tag sorting accounts for prerelease precedence when selecting release history.
- The older `dockers` and `docker_manifests` sections remain supported in this release; `dockers_v2` is the intended successor once its API stabilises.
