No - class-based views didn't land in 1.2. This is one of those features that everyone agrees is a good idea, but someone needs to actually write the code. Jacob made the most recent attempt at an implementation that I'm aware of [1], but as the changelog indicates, he hasn't made any recent updates. Syndication-based views became class-based because of the good work of Ben Firshman. He worked up a very good patch, submitted it in time for the feature freeze, bugged a couple of core developers for reviews, and it was committed. Are class-based views planned for 1.3? Well, we haven't done any formal planning for 1.3 yet, but I'm going to guess that the 1.3 high priority feature list will essentially be "the features that got dropped from 1.2", so in all likelihood, yes. However, that doesn't mean that they will definitely be in 1.3 - someone still needs to do the implementation. If you really want class based generic views, be like Ben and make it happen -- show us the code!.
