We have tagged v1.12.8.0 as the latest production release and moved the
"release" branch marker to that point. This is guaranteed to be API,
ABI, and link back-compatible with prior 1.12 releases. Release notes
are below.


Release 1.12.8.0 -- 3 Jan 2023 (compared to 1.12.7.1)
-------------------------------------------------------
* Remove dependency on OptiX SDK for building core OSL with OptiX support.
You can now build OSL with OptiX support enabled even if you don't have the
OptiX SDK headers present at build time. But you will still need them to
build your OptiX-based application that uses OSL for GPU rendering. #1627
