I believe the blocking items are:

* critical Windows bugs
* skin polish (Jus has an active Deere branch)
* website updates (I'm working on this)
* manual updates

The skins are in kind of bad shape at the moment. They really need polish
to bring them to design bar that we set pretty high with 1.11.0.

Someone recently gave me a Windows laptop so I'm going to setup a Windows
build environment to try and look at some of these.

A 1.12.1 release is for fixing critical bugs that come up post-release and
it will be released out of the 1.12 branch. If the number of bugs we hit
right away after the SS-refactor merge is any indication there are tons of
bugs we haven't yet hit out in the wild. Adding a 1.12.1 will likely cause
more bugs in the wild than it fixes and that's not what users will expect
from a point release.

I totally understand wanting to get master into a release ASAP though.
1.13.0 will come soon after 1.12.0. It will probably be a clean-up /
stability improvements / refactoring release so it makes sense to include
the SS refactor there along with other changes (c++11 refactorings, Qt5
support).

It's fine to start merging the feature branches that are ready to master --
they can be part of 1.13.0.
