Yeah... GrandMaster Steinar definitely has quality and stability at heart.
You have no idea how long we've been working on 1.2 but it's definitely gonna bring lots of improvements in many different fields.
Many bugs have been addressed, even those nobody ever reported (ehehe), also thanks to the automated series of tests performed by emcodem and Steinar along with those "pragmatic ones" performed by me and momocampo.
About the level of stability, we've been using it at Sky on all our server and it's stable, so believe me, it's gonna be one of the most stable version ever released.

Oh and, spoiler alert, there's gonna be a surprise for HDR along with many other things like inverse telecine (I can't spoil any further otherwise it's not gonna be a surprise anymore)...
