There are no 1.2 RKMs.  The white covers with the colored stripe
are 1.1 RKMs.  If they have no colored stripe, they're 1.0 RKMs.
There was technical material for 1.2 in the 1.2 Enhancer booklet.

The 1.3 RKMs are considerably more advanced.  A number of very
important functions were added in 1.2 (eg. Intuition gadget list functions)
and your code will improve if it uses these.  As well, the 1.3 RKMs
have example code that is far clearer and more correct.  There are
also a lot of details on things like how to do legal mutually exclusive
gadgets under 1.3.
