 ### Fixed

+## [1.12.2] - 2025-01-17
+
+### Fixed
+
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkVariableBase` derived classes were not being re-initialized if the associated `NetworkObject` instance was not destroyed and re-spawned. (#3217)
 - Fixed issue where a spawned `NetworkObject` that was registered with a prefab handler and owned by a client would invoke destroy more than once on the host-server side if the client disconnected while the `NetworkObject` was still spawned. (#3202)
 - Fixed issue where `NetworkRigidBody2D` was still using the deprecated `isKinematic` property in Unity versions 2022.3 and newer. (#3199)
 - Fixed issue where an exception was thrown when calling `NetworkManager.Shutdown` after calling `UnityTransport.Shutdown`. (#3118)
 
-### Changed
 
 - Changed the `NetworkTimeSystem.Sync` method to use half RTT to calculate the desired local time offset as opposed to the full RTT. (#3206)
