I am not sure, didn't have a time to check all details... Simply: old version of an application tried to send "<delete>" request, and could not parse response due to (possible) schema changes and hardcoded "tag" values... I am not using version number in URL for <delete> POSTs... Thanks

To the best of my knowledge any solrconfig.xml that worked with Solr 1.1 will continue to work with 1.2 and provide the same XML response for updates commands. The XmlResponseWriter for queries supports a version param to ensure that even if it changes overtime, you can always get the response format you expect -- but i don't think it had a version bump in Solr 1.2 -Hoss
