FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2 Beta 2 released

We've just released FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2 Beta 2. This is a performance and stability update for users of Beta 1.

FCS Maintenance Pack 1.2 is a significant update to FCS Maintenance Pack so we're releasing it as a public beta to gather feedback and locate bugs.

Please use the Report Bug or Suggest Feature links in the Help menu of each application to let us know of any issues, however severe or trivial, and help us discover the features our users want.

Although Beta 2 is pretty stable our official line is that it is not recommended for use in a production environment.
