The main feature for this release is the audio and video uploading capability, which was disabled for 1.2.0 due to incomplete parts. Now it’s enabled and tested, and there’s also the possibility of uploading generic files, like PDF’s or whatever. There is an upload progress bar, used also when uploading images, so there’s that ;)
There’s, however, a catch: Pump.io’s web interface does not recognize the ‘audio’, ‘video’ and ‘file’ types of post, and neither do most of the other Pump.io clients at this point (though Pumpa shows a link to the file), so keep in mind that for now, most of your contacts won’t see your uploaded audios or videos. They’ll still see the post title and contents, though. Consider this feature ‘experimental’ for now and go easy on the servers ;)
Looking at other things, we have the new –config command line parameter. Running a command (from the command line, or a launcher, etc) like “dianara –config secondaccount” will run Dianara with a different configuration, so you can run 2 (or 3, 4…) instances of Dianara, even at once, with different configurations. Different accounts, different colors, different window sizes, etc. There is a new option to use your avatar or a custom icon for the system tray icon, so 2 instances running simultaneously can have different icons too.

The "--config" parameter is awesome! I have 3 Dianara instances running at once without any problem (and thanks to Plasma and Kwin options, I can attach every Dianara window as a tab with the other ones) :)
I also like the new toolbar, filters and highlighting (oldies but goldies), colors and gradients... and glad to see my avatar in the System Tray!
Yeah, cool cool cool.

“Yay! :) i'll update the repo for fedora this evening!”
Just curious since I haven't used Fedora yet. Does this release end up in the main repo or do I have to add your repo? If the first I'll consider switching to it definitely :)
Great job with Dianara, looking forward to testing the audio tag!
