The master is PR1.2. Take the latest tag.  I believe this applies for
libhildondesktop, libmatchbox2, libclutter, hildon-status-menu also.  At
some point the master may or may not be branched and the guys will start
working on the next maintenance release.

It would be best to have some Maemo/Meego-wide convention for this,
