JHipster release 4.12.0
What's new
This is a huge release, with 105 closed tickets and bug requests (yes, the last 2 weeks have been pretty busy for the team!).
Here are the most important ones:
- Angular 5 support #6789
- MongoDB users can now use the Elasticsearch option, like JPA users #6595
- Gateways secured with OpenID Connect can now be generated without any database #6763

As announced in the previous release, React support is still under development: use the --experimental
flag when running JHipster to enable the React option. Warning, this is not finished yet! Your contributions are of course welcome.
