+
+## Upgrade guide :electric_plug:
+
+This section describes the upgrade steps. If you don't have bloop installed, please read
+the [installation instructions][] instead.
+
+If you're on macOS, **upgrade** to the latest version with:
+
+```sh
+$ brew upgrade scalacenter/bloop/bloop
+$ brew services restart bloop
+```
+
+If you're on Windows using `scoop`, **upgrade** to the latest version with:
+
+```sh
+$ scoop upgrade bloop
+$ bloop ng-stop
+$ // Start the server as you usually do (via systemd, manually, desktop services)
+```
+
+Otherwise, run:
+
+```
+$ curl -L https://github.com/scalacenter/bloop/releases/download/v1.2.4/install.py | python
+$ bloop ng-stop
+$ // Start the server as you usually do (via systemd, manually, desktop services)
+```
+
+Read the complete installation instructions in our [Installation page][installation instructions].
+
+## Highlights :books:
+
+`v1.2.4` is only a bugfix release.
+
+### Don't deduplicate diagnostics too aggressively
+
+Fix an error where the deduplication logic of diagnostics to avoid duplicated scalac errors
+relied on `pointer` instead of `offset`.
+
