Enhancements in version 1.12.2

- Support for the SOLUTIONTIME keyword was added to the Tecplot reader. Values specified for this keyword will appear as the 'time' value for plots.
- The UNIC database reader was enhanced to support several new element types. The new element types consist of triangles, quadrilaterals, tetrahedra, pyramids, wedges and hexahedra ranging from linear to 20th order. The higher order elements are decomposed into linear elements when they are read in.

- A Pseudocolor plot with the PersistentParticles operator now has the correct data extents.
- A bug reading integer data from the Silo plugin, introduced in version 1.12.1, was fixed.
