1.2.1 is a patch release to 1.2 (so if you are running -current, you are
already ahead of 1.2.1 and "upgrading" to it would actually be
downgrading). As for why it isn't mentioned yet, this is probably because
the official announcement hasn't been made yet (maybe one of the
portmasters hasn't finished creating the necessary distribution files).
The 1.2.1 distribution should contain the usual CHANGES file which details
the differences between it and 1.2.
I hope this clears up a few things.
Later.
