Picard 2.12.2 released

Picard 2.12.2 has been released, fixing an issue with sorting numbers in list views.

Picard 2.12.1 contained a fix for crashes on macOS which were related to language aware sorting. Unfortunately the solution we chose for this caused sorting of numbers to be broken on Windows. With this release this gets solved by using the previous sorting technique on Windows again (which was not affected by the crashes experienced on macOS).
