The term 'release candidate' means the Subversion developers feel that
this release is stable and ready for production use, so we encourage
people to test this release thoroughly. The final 1.2.0 release is
scheduled for early-May, in order to provide plenty of time for
testing.
Please note that if you run the test suite that there is a failure
reported in copy_tests.py test #25 when running against a DAV server.
This is a known issue with the test not with Subversion itself and will
be fixed in the next release.
The changes between 1.1.4 and 1.2.0-rc1 are listed below.
New 1.2 features are explained in detail in our release notes,
located at:
http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.2_releasenotes.html
