Yes, that would be a good idea.

There's going to be a 1.2.13 once PostgreSQL 8.3 comes out, and there
are a few small bugs getting fixed in addition to 8.3 support, but
there's nothing at all show-stopping that's post-1.2.12.

On the other hand, there are a number of things fixed in 1.2.12 that
*are* quite material.

You can always check the release notes; I'd like to think they are
pretty good.  (Of course, I wrote them, so I may be biased ;-).)
