We are happy to announce the availability of Magento version 1.2.1 for download and upgrade.

This version includes some issue resolutions for Magento version 1.2.x. A full list of items included in this release can be found on the release notes page.

Diff files for the latest version can be found here.

Please use this forum to discuss any issue with Magento 1.2.1 and please report all bugs on the bug-tracker.

Note: We do NOT recommend upgrading a production installation of Magento directly. Please backup database and all files before upgrading. Please make sure to check file permission before trying to upgrade through your Magento Connect Manager.

This version seems to be more stable on the upgrade process, my experience on the upgrade is quite smooth process. And in the magento forum, there is a little less complaint on a faulty upgrade process. For upgrading better turn off the cache before run the upgrade process.
