Version 12.0.rc1 Beta

This is the beta for the version 12.0 release. We will be in beta for about a week unless major issues are discovered. It would be very helpful if you posted on the discussion linked to this release an let me know what platform you tested. This will significantly cut down on my testing and lead to a quicker release.
