Phoronix Test Suite 1.2.1 Released

[Michael]

Following last week's milestone with Phoronix Test Suite 1.2.0 "Malvik", we have now made available Phoronix Test Suite 1.2.1. This release incorporates just a couple of bug-fixes that have appeared in the past few days. Most notably, the Unigine Sanctuary and Unigine Tropics test profiles should have the MD5 check-sum issue circumvented as well as another small bug. This release also has a fix when merging results from Phoronix Global IDs, updating the build-imagemagick test profile download link fix, and the fio test profile now removes a rather large file upon exiting.

Due to three bugs that had appeared with yesterday's 1.2.1 release, a 1.2.2 hot-fix release is now available. The bug in pts-core had caused MD5 check-sum verification to fail with files where in fact the file was correct. The other two fixes correct the unigine-sanctuary and unigine-tropics test profiles so that they run correctly with the latest versions.
