There is a guide for this update!See Bedrock Edition guides/0.12 releases for a guide to all of the new features introduced in 0.12 releases.
v0.12.1 alpha is a major update to Pocket Edition and a minor update to the Windows 10 Edition Beta that was released over the timeframe of September 4–9, 2015.
