which is a minor release following 0.12.0 release on April 11, 2016.
Mahout's goal is to create an environment for quickly creating machine
learning applications that scale and run on the highest performance
parallel computation engines available. Mahout comprises an interactive
environment and library that supports generalized scalable linear algebra
and includes many modern machine learning algorithms.

Mahout 0.12.1 is a maintenance release over Mahout 0.12.0 addresses the
following issues with Apache Flink integration:

MAHOUT-1859:  Disable non working msurf and mgrid before Mahout 0.12.1

sparse matrix

MAHOUT-1847: drmSampleRows in FlinkEngine doesn't wrap Int Keys when
ClassTag is of type Int

MAHOUT-1841: Matrices.symmetricUniformView(...) returning values in the
wrong range.
