We recommend upgrading to v1.2 in a number of scenarios:
1. You have a site that is activley maintained and want to increase performance and ensure better responsive design and accesibility.
2. You're developing with a JS framework like React or Angular, we've made a number of important stuctural changes.
3. You have a site using the old EBI Compliance theme and want a less intrusive upgrade and want to use the EBI Visual Framework 'lite' implementation.
