1.2 is the firmware on the UK 505's which as far as I'm aware, just differs from 1.1 by having 'dd/mm/yy' date formats rather than 'mm/dd/yy' formats.

The PRSCustomizer is currently based on 1.1 firmware but, as I understand it, it should be possible to take a dump of 1.2 device to add 1.2 support. I don't know the details of what's involved, though...
if you want to customize your Reader, the only option now is to replace the 1.2 European firmware with the North American 1.1 version. The Universal Flasher apparently checks firmware version and errors out when it sees 1.2.
