Will the CB 1.1 work together with Joomla 1.0.12?
Yes, of course. CB is compatible all the way back to Joomla 1.0.0 and to Mambo 4.5.2.0 (most probably 4.5.1 and even 4.5.0 but those two over 3 years old releases have not been tested by lack of corresponding users).
I quickly updated the front-page temporary warning accordingly
So when CB 1.1 is released, CB should be upgraded before Joomla if you are doing it in 2 steps. Instructions will be adapted correspondingly in README file of the release.

Just a very quick summary about this problem so people understand better why CB is in such a stupid situation, that we tried to avoid by all communication means, on joomla 1.0.13 and 1.5 RC1:
In short, yes, we were aware (for cause
) of this incompatibility well ahead in time. We were only surprised by the sudden release date, and not ready to release CB 1.1, which included already that fix. In addition CB 1.1 was matching the same target release date of Joomla 1.0.13 that we understood last Thursday from a joomla core team member.
As CB 1.1 was already well into testing, and on schedule, we evaluated quickly other ways, like a tested CB 1.0.3, which would not have been much faster to release than CB 1.1.
Many thanks to pasamio
for his quick patch for cb 1.0.2, which allowed quite some installations to recover without reverting joomla. CB is a community project and community members helping other community members and submitting patches is very welcome. Thanks pasamio. Many thanks also to all Joomla community members which also supported this compatibility issue with CB 1.0.2 and other extensions on Joomla forums
CB tests for CB 1.1 are going quite well and full speed (very few bugs left), and we're now going to do the final tests and fixes, targetting a release in time of our original schedule
Many thanks to CB testteam active members, and also for all the new active testers who joined us in these last two weeks.
We hope to be able to confirm this date today or tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Now back to CB 1.1 wohooooo
EDITED: cut 1 long sentence in 2, and removed one repettion.
