File: gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/release-notes.md

Summary

Updated plugin version from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0, added documentation for automatic scaling to/from zero instances based on game activity, and fixed minor grammatical errors.

Security assessment

The version change appears routine. The scaling feature focuses on cost optimization without mentioning security vulnerabilities or security features. Grammatical fixes don't impact security.
