Uhm... I guess we had a bit of miscommunication here:

we offered to do a 1.1.2 release, but we also explained that 1.1.2 + 
backported lang files would be almost identical to 1.2.0, so after the 
previous thread I understood that you agreed on using 1.2.0 and thus we 
didn't bother to backport the fixes and release 1.1.2.

I'm also fairly sure to have asked this to seb128 on irc and I am pretty 
sure that he agreed that using 1.2.0

I suggest you to check again with seb128.

Really, using 1.2.0 doesn't invalidate any QA: as explained in the 
previous thread the only difference between an ipothethic 1.1.2 and 
1.2.0 are the lang files since they introduce some new translatable strings.
