Well, consider who will use it: Practically all Windows users go with 
WinAVR, which will be 1.2.0. There's Linux, FreeBSD, and Mac OSX users. 
The Mac folks are limited to a handful of people (afaik) so I would 
think 1.2.0 would be fine unless they complain. You've got the pulse on 
the FreeBSD community. And I'm not really sure about the Linux folks, as 
regular RPMs don't seem to be built.

All of the bug fixes in the 1.0 branch are in HEAD as well, and there 
are more bug fixes in HEAD than the 1.0 branch (plus stuff like new 
devices). That's why I lean towards 1.2.0.

*But*, in the end, it's up to you and the amount of time you have for 
it. :-)
