HCL have just announced the release of beta 1 for v.12. https://blog.hcltechsw.com/domino/start-your-engines-hcl-domino-v12-beta-is-here-are-you-ready/
You can download for pretty much every supported platform today on Flexnet. It’s not like the early access program where it was just on Docker (though you can use Docker is you like).
There’s so many cool new features to look at, particularly in Domino, with the new cert manager capabilities and OTP capabilities to name a couple.

Much, much more here on Domino –https://help.hcltechsw.com/domino/12.0.0/admin/whats_new_in_domino.html
What’s new the Notes Client- https://help.hcltechsw.com/notes/12.0.0/client/fram_whats_new_12.html
Here for what’s new in the Designer Client –https://help.hcltechsw.com/dom_designer/12.0.0/basic/wpd_whatsnew.html
And finally what’s new in Traveler –https://help.hcltechsw.com/traveler/12.0.0/whats_new_1200.html
HCL (or IBM or Lotus for that matter) have never given open access to everyone on a beta like this so early in the process and it’s really an opportunity to view what’s going on in the product suite and give feedback.
