0.12.17

## Release Notes

Released on 2026-09-18.

### Enhancements

- Reject unsupported Git archive paths in lockfiles with a clear error instead of panicking during frozen exports ([#21780](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21780))

### Preview features

- Set minimum glibc and musl versions that universal resolutions must support with `minimum-libc-version` ([#21651](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21651))
- Reject `pylock.toml` files whose wheel filenames do not match their declared package names or versions ([#20746](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/20746))
- Keep `uv workspace metadata` read-only unless `--sync` is provided ([#21821](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21821))
- Apply `uv check` lock modes when retrieving workspace metadata ([#21821](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21821))

### Performance

- Speed up builds with many exclusion patterns by avoiding quadratic deduplication ([#21650](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21650))
- Reduce resolver allocations when deduplicating package and distribution requests ([#21810](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21810))

### Bug fixes

- Prevent `required-environments` from selecting package versions whose wheels require a newer macOS version than the configured Darwin baseline ([#21825](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21825))

### Documentation

- Clarify the 0.12.14 and 0.12.15 release notes ([#21817](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/21817))

## Verifying GitHub Artifact Attestations

The artifacts in this release have attestations generated with GitHub Artifact Attestations. These can be verified by using the [GitHub CLI](https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_attestation_verify):
```sh
gh attestation verify <file-path of downloaded artifact> --repo astral-sh/uv
```

You can also download the attestation from [GitHub](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/attestations) and verify against that directly:
```sh
gh attestation verify <file-path of downloaded artifact> --bundle <file-path of downloaded attestation>
```
