[keycloak-dev] Keycloak 1.2.0.Beta1 Released

[Bill Burke]

Also, this was the first release Pedro de Silva from Picketlink 
contributed to.  He put in our Brokering support which is a feature a 
lot of our users are excited about.  You're going to see more great 
things from Pedro going forward.  I'm psyched PL and Keycloak teams are 
combined now.

Also, Raghu Prablahar was instrumental in flushing out SAML and 
brokering bugs and features.  He was working from master all through the 
winter and testing our stuff against other IDPs to make sure it worked.

We have built in support for English, German and Brazilian Portuguese. We've also made it easy to add your own and if you'd like to contribute a translation let us know.

> * Deploy themes as modules - We've made it much simpler to package themes and they can also be deployed as a module. This makes it simpler to distribute themes as well as using custom themes in a cluster.

We've solved this issue by including a version number in the resource urls, so upgrading should be even simpler now!
