Update: Node-RED 1.2.1 published with a fix for a race condition in the .config file migration.
Node-RED 1.2.0 is now generally available.
Full release notes on the blog: https://nodered.org/blog/2020/10/15/version-1-2-released
Thanks to everyone who tested the beta and provided feedback.
After upgrading to 1.2 some of my flows are missing and the Project history tab is empty!
@ghayne ok... All the usual questions for you: have you checked the log for any errors? Have you checked the browser developer console for any errors?
Lot's of errors in the install log:

That's the install log - what about the log when Node-RED starts?
It says no active project although I am using projects.

Your flow credentials file is encrypted using a system-generated key.
If the system-generated key is lost for any reason, your credentials
file will not be recoverable, you will have to delete it and re-enter
your credentials.
You should set your own key using the 'credentialSecret' option in
your settings file. Node-RED will then re-encrypt your credentials
file using your chosen key the next time you deploy a change.

So it appears to have 'forgotten' what your active project was. You should be able to reopen the project from the Project's menu in the editor. If the 'open' option is disabled, select 'new' and then select the 'open existing project' option at the bottom of the new project dialog.
Lets take this to a DM conversation so we don't flood the release post.
Thanks - will have a 1.2.2 tomorrow.
Side note... my flow to notify when a new version of NR is release, works like a charm. 
Now with the new nice feature/possibilty to organize the side bar tabs horizontally, I really wish for making it possible to organize flow tabs vertically. I have so many tabs, how nice would it not be to be able to drag and drop them to new positions?
Also like to add, I had no problems upgrading this RPi3, everything works!
Hi I tried to upgrade my old nodered/node-red-docker container with the new image nodered/node-red version 1.2.1
The container is not starting properly / restarting every minute. I mounted the old volume to /data.
The log is:
> node-red-docker@1.2.1 start /usr/src/node-red
> node $NODE_OPTIONS node_modules/node-red/red.js $FLOWS "--userDir" "/data"

Update:
When i create a new volume every thing works fine.
I changed the old volume to public, now it works. The old flows seem to be lost. 
Hello!
Reorderable sidebar tabs #2655.
There's a separate possible change to make to remember the last tab a user was on.
Is there such a possibility at the moment? info tab is not the most relevant in work.
Regards, Yuri
