 ChangeLog
 =========
 
-Version 1.2
------------

-IMPORTANT: this release changes script hash indexing in the database,
+IMPORTANT: version 1.2 changes script hash indexing in the database,
 so you will need to rebuild your databases from scratch.  Running this
 version will refuse to open the DB and not corrupt it, so you can
 revert to 1.1.x if you wish.  The initial synchronisation process
 should be around 10-15% faster than 1.1, owing to this change and
 Justin Arthur's optimisations from 1.1.1.
