In fact it is a major upgrade.
generally speaking, upgrading from 1.x.* to 1.y.* is.
specifically, the most significant change in this release is the multiple sites support.
while most users does not need this feature directly, its a significant upgrade of the infrastructure that will enable wpmu support and was also required before the implementation of historical data archiving – which will benefit all users. (it will improve performance and reduce database size).
there is also a new session mechanism built-in that greatly improve the security of FireStats.

As I was running the 1.2* betas I didn’t see it as a major upgrade in the same way as I would an emergency release to fix a big security hole.

From Omry:
ah, in that sense you are right.
there have been a few updates, but nothing serious.
I consider this major because this is the first stable 1.2 release. (and hopefully the last!
(most users stayed with 1.1.*-stable)

It’s a great bit of software, though I only wish there were more options for the Geo IP databases, such as Maxmind etc., (for those of us who pay for licenses)

From Omry:
Thanks.
in fact, someone just opened an enhancement request for maxmind support a few days ago (http://firestats.cc/ticket/324).
there are things much higher on the priority level though.
