Dear ObsPy Users,

better late than never.. I noticed that over the long list of release  
ToDo items, we forgot to announce the release of ObsPy 1.2.0 on the  
mailing list. Sorry about that.  
ObsPy 1.2.0 was released in early March and is a major release including  
quite a few new features. A minor new version 1.2.1 was also released  
shortly after, mainly just to fix an installation issue with the most  
recent pip.

Here is the link to the "What's New" page with all relevant information  
and changelog:

> **[What's New in ObsPy 1.2](https://github.com/obspy/obspy/wiki/What%27s-New-in-ObsPy-1.2)**
>
> ObsPy: A Python Toolbox for seismology/seismological observatories. - obspy/obspy

Most importantly, this will be the last release to support Python 2, the  
next major release will only support Python 3.7 and upwards. Another  
notable is the change to StationXML version 1.1. Old format 1.0 can be  
read like before but all output will now happen in StationXML version  
1.1 (Details:

and [https://github.com/FDSN/StationXML/blob/master/Changes.md](https://github.com/FDSN/StationXML/blob/master/Changes.md))

The release is available on pypi and via conda packages.

Please refer to installation instructions for details.
