# Fleet 4.12.0 | Platform-specific policies, and improved query results
![Fleet 4.12.0](../website/assets/images/articles/fleet-4.12.0-cover-700x393@2x.png)
Were pleased to announce Fleet 4.12.0. Check out the full [changelog](https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/releases/tag/fleet-v4.12.0) or continue reading to summarize whats new.
For update instructions, see our [upgrade guide](https://fleetdm.com/docs/deploying/upgrading-fleet) in the Fleet docs.
## Highlights
- Policies: check policies on specific platforms
- Fleet UI: help users understand which hosts are returning results
### Policies: check policies on specific platforms
Fleet admin and maintainers can specify the platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) for a specific policy. For example, a policy that checks if Dropbox is installed on all devices can now be updated to only check macOS devices. This is helpful when an organizations security policy is different across platforms and subject to frequent change.

### Fleet UI: help users understand which hosts are returning results
We made an iterative improvement to Fleet UIs live query console to help users running a live query to understand better which hosts are returning results and which are not.
