 # Changelog - v3
 
+## [v3.12.0] (Feb 16, 2024)
+
+### Features:
+* Local cache is enabled by default
+  * If desired, it can be disabled using sdkInitParams
+  ```tsx
+  import SendbirdProvider from '@sendbird/uikit-react/SendbirdProvider';
+  
+  const App = () => (
+    <SendbirdProvider
+      // ...
+      sdkInitParams={{ localCacheEnabled: false }}
+    />
+  )
+  ```
+* Added `GroupChannel` and `GroupChannelList` modules.
+  * With the introduction of `GroupChannel` and `GroupChannelList`, a new local caching feature has been added, allowing you to experience a more efficient chat environment.
+    We provide a massive component called `App` that combines all the features. From now on, this component will use `GroupChannel` and `GroupChannelList` instead of `Channel` and `ChannelList`.
+    If you wish to continue using `Channel` and `ChannelList`, you can use `enableLegacyChannelModules` to ensure the previous components are still available for use.
+    ```tsx
+    import SendbirdApp from '@sendbird/uikit-react/App';
+      
+    const App = () => (
+      <SendbirdApp
+        // ...
+        enableLegacyChannelModules
+      />
+    );
+    ```
+  * You can find detailed changes, usage instructions, and migration methods in the document here: [Migration Guide](https://github.com/sendbird/sendbird-uikit-react/blob/main/MIGRATION_COLLECTION.md)
