I’m pleased to announce the release of [Alcotest](https://github.com/mirage/alcotest/) 1.2.0, now available on Opam.

This release includes:

- a new `alcotest-mirage` package for running tests on MirageOS;
- full UTF-8 support;
- default coloured output in Dune (without needing to pass `--no-buffer`);
- an improved output format.

The full changelog is available [here](https://github.com/mirage/alcotest/blob/1.2.0/CHANGES.md).

Thanks to our many contributors in this release cycle.
