Andy,
I have uploaded the new HTML help manual to your server under the following
URL:
http://www.openshotusers.com/help/*1.2*/en/<http://www.openshotusers.com/help/1.2/en/>.
 I also made a copy of the original help manual and put it under this URL:
http://www.openshotusers.com/help/*1.1*/en/<http://www.openshotusers.com/help/1.2/en/>.
 We still have the old help manual in the /help/ folder, so all the links on
the Internet that point back to the help manual will still work.

I have changed the official version to 1.2.0 in the trunk and made the final
commit for this version.  I am working on the packaging right now, and
testing the packaging on different versions of Ubuntu.  I expect to have the
packaging finished tonight, but I'm not sure if I will go public with the
info yet.  I still need to put together my "announcement" video and blog
post, which I haven't started working on yet.

On a side note, I have not been able to get a hold of my Debian contact, so
I'm a bit concerned about that.  I don't really want to start "shopping"
around for a new Debian developer at the last second.  Ubuntu won't sync our
package, unless it exists in Debian.  So that will be my next focus after
getting this release pushed out.

Thanks!
-Jonathan
