	I am using klin on Demand and still in version 1.0, do I have to do something – Jedi Master Spooky May 17 at 16:52
	No -- there is a bug in our version string at the moment (we're fixing this in an upcoming push). You're actually on version 1.2, and you can tell by clicking "Admin" and seeing the "Web Hooks" link. – Ben Kamens♦ May 17 at 18:26
	ok, thanks Ben. – Jedi Master Spooky May 17 at 19:17

Kiln 1.2 is our most significant upgrade since the initial launch of Kiln. We've added a number of features to address your requests and fixed quite a few quirks.

All changeset reviews are always visible across all repositories, regardless of the changeset's repository. This means deleting a repository no longer deletes any code review information (as long as at least one repository holding the changeset is not deleted).
The Kiln Importer is drastically improved. You can now choose specific subdirectories of your Subversion repository to import, identify tags and branches subfolders, verify a preview of the import before pushing to Kiln, and more.
The search box for each repository now searches changeset messages (it only used to accept changeset ids and revision numbers).
Browsing back and forth from a repository to various changesets now uses a Gmail-style (ajax-powered) technique for much faster changeset browsing.
hg kiln is a new Mercurial extension included in the Kiln Client that lets you quickly use the Kiln web interface from your command line. Quickly navigate straight from your command line to a specific file's history, annotation, and more (hg kiln -a File.cs).
You can now edit the title and initial description of a code review when starting the review.
Review activity is now available in the activity feed.
Significant UI work with the goal of simplifying the interface and making common operations (viewing changeset contents) much less cluttered.
Web Hooks are now available - every push to Kiln can now fire an arbitrary URL that hooks up to a service such as your continuous integration server.
RSS feed browser autodiscovery is now available for individual repository feeds.
The "Copy Repository URL to Your Clipboard" tool has been fixed in Chrome.
Performance improvements.
A number of various SQL timeouts have been resolved.
The Kiln uninstaller is improved, which helps problem scenarios that require reinstall.
Fixed "FogBugz Session ID is not set" crash when viewing changesets.
