Two remarks about the new release: a clarification and, alas, a bug. * It was pointed out that the update instructions [1] are not completely clear: there are upgrade instructions for upgrading to 1.12, and there are general instructions for upgrade/repair. Please follow the former since they are specific to the case where the storage backend changed (as in 1.12). The other generic instructions are also OK but your wiki will experience a short time during update when queries will return incomplete results.
In general, the special instructions for some release are always to be preferred over the generic "repair" instructions. The INSTALL in future versions will clarify this better. * The initial file release used the old store as the default setting. This is fixed now (in all places where SMW1.2 is found). The only file that changed is SMW_Settings.php [2]. If you upgraded/installed already, you should update that file (or just download again all files, if preferred) and follow the instructions for install/upgrade again. It is good to see that SMW 1.12 now experiences much more testing than the development version. If further problems occur, we will release a proper follow-up SMW 1.12.1 to solve them. So please let us (or the list) know about any troubles you encounter.
