sbcl-1.2.0 released

Dear all,

I've just released sbcl-1.2.0.  Don't read too much into the version
number; the change is more that 18 versions is quite enough for one
series, but I suppose that the newly-minted support for ARM platforms
didn't act against the decision to bump the version.  I append to this
mail the somewhat terse summary of the changes in this release; there
were about 580 merged changes in this month's development, so though
most of them were localized to the ARM backend some care in upgrading
might be advisable.

Best wishes,

Christophe
