The new @uncheckedOverride annotation is equivalent to the override keyword, except that it allows to override nothing. This is useful when cross-building: a method may override or not, depending on the version of some dependency. #11175
GPG key change
This release is signed with a different GPG key than previous Scala 2.12 releases. The new key is the same one used by Scala 3. #11158
As usual for our minor releases, Scala 2.12.21 is binary-compatible with the whole Scala 2.12 series.
