[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

Here is a new release of the stable version. This release fixes many bugs in 
the interpreter, the GTK+ component, the networking component, the PDF 
component, and the XML/RPC component.

Here is the full changelog:

Note that there is a little "bug" in the package: the version number and the 
package name is 2.12, and not 2.12.0. If it leads to any problem, I will make 
a 2.12.1 release.

Enjoy it!
