I've been using 1.2.0 since it's been announced and have had no problems. However, additions to the framework since then have already made me feel like I'm using an obsolete version. :) There's been some obscure (IMO) compatibility issues with some obscure (again IMO) utility method, but then again I call it obscure because I haven't used that function (whatever it is) at all. I didn't run into any compatibility issues for my app, which was using 1.1 then. Everything's running as expected, and it got me "validwhen" support, too. I don't use wildcard mappings, though, so I can't give you an opinion there.
