**Flox 1.12.1 has landed!**

**Features**

- `-D/--default` flag provides a shortcut to reference your default FloxHub environment across any command that accepts `-r/--reference` as an argument, replacing `-r <user>/default`.
- `flox install <package>^<output>` now appends an output to a package that is already installed; previously this only worked when the package was not yet installed.
- `flox publish` skips rebuilds and publish when the exact build has already been published

**Fixes**

- FLOX\_ACTIVATE\_START\_SERVICES is no longer overridden when a second environment is activated from an RC file.

**Thank you to our community contributors for this release**

- flox auth login no longer suggests running flox auth login when the existing token is expired
