Fair call, this is something we do need to tidy up.

The release on sourceforge is the latest release we have.
There is no newer release. What I was pointing you at was the cvs
archives, where you can check out the files that will be the 1.2.0
release. But there is no newer tarball, apart from the nightly cvs
tarball that sourceforge makes automatically. Which isnt a release.

Sorry If there was a misunderstanding.
