Well, yes and no.

Before releasing "the final 1.2 stable" we upgraded our software to 
Visual Studio 2008 here. Which we shouldn't do.
As it appears, something changed in Visual Studio, and a 1.2 final 
package won't install on a fresh Windows install because of some missing 
libraries.

I think the missing library is msvcrt.dll, but I didn't have a chance to 
verify it on a clean system yet (any volunteer to install a fresh XP and 
test it?).

That being said - there are *no* software differences between the latest 
rc and the stable release.

1.2.0 has just a proper release number (1.2.0 vs 1.0.x in the latest 
rc), and a missing library - which is why 1.2.0 sources are available 
for download, but the binaries are 1.2.0-rc6.

Hope it clarifies a bit.
