Whilst working on the pimcore SOAP API, which will be availabe with pimcore 1.3.0, we decided to postpone the 1.3.0 release for some weeks and launch the maintenance release 1.2.2 instead. Pimcore 1.2.2 includes almost all issues which were scheduled for 1.3.0. The full list of release notes can be found here.
A major step beween pimcore 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 is the upgrade to ExtJs 3.3. The migration to ExtJs 3.3 went rather smoothly and we are looking forward to utilizing some of the new ExtJs features soon. Moreover, We integrated some of the great ideas coming from the pimcore community: Tooltip on object fields, the extension of the pimcore user, set new documents/objects parked, ... Just to list some of them. Besides the new features, this release includes bugfixes and improvements inspired by users and our daily work with pimcore.
Now we will roll up our sleves and dig into some planned refactorings, mostly closely related to the new API. More information and documentation on the SOAP API will follow shortly, keep posted ..
