v1.2.6
* Improvement: DB 'options' table has a lot of repeating recorded queries for a single option name. Those logged queries will be optimized(marked as not required for merging) to reduce the number of queries for merging in the background. Also, transient records will be optimized.
* Improvement: Maintenance mode will be enabled in Dev site during "Clone Prod DB & Apply Dev Changes" and "Clone Prod DB & Test Merge" processes and in Prod site while "Apply Dev Changes to Prod" process.

Thanks for the users who reported the fatal error issue and allowed us to debug it in his server. https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=78612)
