+# 🚀 **What's New in v1.2.0 of React Native Lab?** 🎉
+
+Hello React Native devs! 👋
+
+We’re back with some awesome updates in **v1.2.0** to make your development process even more seamless. Let’s dive into the latest features:
+
+---
+
+## 🎣 **Custom Hooks Integration**
+
+Supercharge your projects with a collection of **pre-built hooks**:
+
+- **`useDebounce`**: Wait before executing a function.
+- **`useThrottle`**: Limit how often a function can run.
+- **`usePrevious`**: Access the previous value of any state or prop.
+- **`useOrientation`**: React to device orientation changes.
+- **`useResponsiveLayout`**: Get responsive layout info based on screen size.
+
+No more reinventing the wheel—just plug and play!
+
+---
+
+## 🔇 **ConsoleRemover for Production**
+
+Say goodbye to unwanted console logs in your production builds!
+
+- Removes **all console statements**: `log`, `warn`, `error`, `info`, etc.
+- **Boosts security** by ensuring no sensitive logs are exposed.
+- **Reduces app size** for faster performance.
+
+Your production builds will now be cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 **Flexible Environment Variable Management**
+
+Manage configurations effortlessly with improved `.env` support:
+
+- Automatically sets up a **`.env` file** for storing sensitive data.
+- Choose your preferred library:
+  - **`react-native-config`**
+  - **`react-native-dotenv`**
+- Ensures secure and organized handling of environment variables.
+
+More flexibility, less hassle!
+
+---
+
+These updates build on an already robust toolset, including:
