FEST-Swing 1.2rc: Swing UI Testing Made Easy

I’m proud to announce the release of FEST-Swing 1.2rc!

FEST-Swing is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for functional Swing GUI testing. This library provides an easy-to-use API that makes creation and maintenance of GUI tests easy.

This is the last release before 1.2 final. If no regressions are found, 1.2rc will be promoted to 1.2 final within a month.
