Indeed, it looks like it is misnamed as that is the date John announced 
the "-2" repackage because an intended fix didn't make it in:

"There’s been a long-standing Gtk problem on Macs with both a Retina and 
a non-Retina monitor where context menus are chopped off on the 
non-Retina monitor. In spite of having a patch to fix that in place in 
time for the GnuCash 5.12 release I found to my dismay that the patch 
hadn’t gotten built into the release bundles. I’ve now built new ones 
and uploaded them to the usual places. The SHA256s are:

f2e174a64c2e5b3499078d2c15cfb6d041d5cc67adac2d2d5f3bf27582304d60 
Gnucash-Arm-5.12-2.dmg
8e3727cf6958a4ee37f1087edc4eebdfcc0f33405d5e581e73063c5822cff00e 
Gnucash-Intel-5.12-2.dmg"

I'm running the "-1" release from 6/28 just fine. If you aren't having 
issues with "-1" or you are not affected by that bug, I wouldn't stress 
over it. Both are essentially the same version otherwise.

Regards,
Adrien
