As many of you may know, tomorrow is the release date for Battlefield 3: Back to Karkand on the Xbox 360 and PC. Today we got all the information on release times and info for server owners on the R12 release. All of these things are listed below:

BF3 PC Server R12
BF3 PC Server R12 will be released on Tuesday, due next Tuesday. Exact timing to be confirmed; I will update this post once it is confirmed.
We will have a downtime for the master servers. The RSPs will begin updating their game servers at this point. Those admins which have had their servers updated to R12 can then add the Back to Karkand maps to the map rotation.
There will not be any client update - all that was taken care of last week.

Changelog
* General crashfixes
* Fixed problem where kits would remain on the level for a long time (>10 minutes); this would eventually make the server keel over
* The Back to Karkand maps are included
Notice that there are two variations on the Conquest gamemode. The differences are mainly to do with the flags. You will see a "#2" after the map name for a server that runs the second Conquest variation.
Game servers can mix and match B2K and non-B2K maps. Players who have not purchased B2K will be warned if they attempt to join a server with B2K maps in the rotation. Quickmatch will not send those players to servers with B2K maps in the rotation either. The guiding principle here is: if possible, avoid having people get kicked from servers.
