+The MacPorts Project is pleased to announce the release of version
+2.12.5. This is a bugfix release with small changes only. See the
+[ChangeLog][1] for the list of changes.
+
+If you already have MacPorts installed, the preferred method for
+updating is to run:
+
+    sudo port selfupdate
+
+For new installs, [package installers][2] are available for the most current
+macOS 26 Tahoe and all older releases back to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The
+source is also available as tarballs compressed with gzip or bzip2, or from the
+[git tag][3].
+
+Detached PGP signatures for the disk images, package installers and
+source tarballs have been made by [Joshua Root][4], and the git tag has
+been signed with the same key. The public key is available on the
+keyservers and the MacPorts wiki, the fingerprint being:
+
+0x01FF673FB4AAE6CD: C403 7936 5723 6DCF 2E58  0C02 01FF 673F B4AA E6CD
