We had the opportunity to discuss upcoming R12 releases with our Oracle contacts at the OAUG. There has been some external debate on what the follow-up release will be for the current 12.0.4. The information we got is that there will not be a 12.0.5 release. Instead, Oracle will provide a 12.1 release. R12 customers are highly encourages to apply the planned 12.1 Maintenance Pack or use planned HR/Financial Family Packs for bug fixes. We couldn’tt get a date on 12.1 as expected….
We were also told that the 12.1 Maintenance Pack will NOT require upgrading from the 10g database to the 11g database as some had expected, UNLESS you are doing a fresh install.
More on this as we get updates.

I also understgand that EBS 12.1 is a different codeline from 12.0.4.
