Let me clarify. Earlier releases were preceded by release candidates before the .0 release. However, we changed it this time so that .0 basically is the release candidate and .1 will then be the first stable release. Therefore, we decided to post only to the developer mailing lists, so that the first release to the wider public (1.2.1) will, hopefully, have most issues resolved. / Thomas
