+## [12.0.0](https://github.com/GetStream/stream-chat-react/compare/v11.23.9...v12.0.0) (2024-09-17)
+
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* - own user will not anymore be filtered out of the selection list of users to mention if `mentionAllAppUsers` is enabled on MessageInput
+* - removes the following variables from `MessageContext`: isReactionEnabled, onReactionListClick, showDetailedReactions, reactionSelectorRef
+- removes prop `messageWrapperRef` from `MessageOptions` and `MessageActions` props.
+* ComponentContext no longer provides any defaults
+* removed Thread prop fullWidth, removed class str-chat__thread--full
+* removed Window prop hideOnThread, replaced class str-chat__main-panel--hideOnThread with str-chat__main-panel--thread-open
+* MP3 audio encoder has to be explicitly imported and
+used as a plugin for audio recordings. The default audio recording
+format is audio/wav.
+* @breezystack/lamejs became a peer dependency and has to
+be installed by the integrator so that the MP3 audio encoder can work
+properly.
+* Removed fileOrder, imageOrder, fileUploads,
+imageUploads, uploadFile, uploadImage, removeFile, removeImage from the
+MessageInputContext. Use attachments, uploadAttachment, uploadNewFiles, upsertAttachments, removeAttachments instead.
+* Removed default values for timestamp formatting props
+like calendar or format for DateSeparator, EventComponent,
+MessageTimestamp. The formatting configuration now entirely relies on
+i18n translations.
+* The VirtualizedMessageList does not provide default
+Footer component
+* The VirtualizedMessageList markup has changed as
+TypingIndicator is rendered as a child of MessageListMainPanel
+* stylesheet import path changed & v1 stylesheet has been dropped, see release guide for more information
+* theme v1 related markup and classNames have been removed
+* `themeVersion` property has been removed from `ChatContext`
