The "Wireshark 2 preview" was removed in 1.12.2, because "Users wishing to try the Qt UI should use the 1.99.x installers.". So there's really not much reason to use the "Wireshark 2 preview" version of Wireshark from the 1.12.1 installer. It may have changed the way some statistics windows worked, due to the UI change it may also not have had some statistics windows that the regular 1.12.1 version had if those statistics windows hadn't been converted to use Qt yet. It didn't dissect any more protocols, it didn't have any bug fixes to protocol dissection that regular 1.12.1 didn't have, it didn't have support for capturing on any devices that regular 1.12.1 didn't support.
The rest of it was just 1.12.1, so, other than the UI changes, it offered no new capabilities that the regular GTK+-based 1.12.1 release offered. The only way in which it was a preview of Wireshark 2 is that it was built using the Qt toolkit, rather than the GTK+ toolkit, so that it had the new Qt-based user interface Wireshark 2 was going to offer the Qt-based user interface as the default, with a "legacy" GTK+-based version also available. The name "Wireshark 2 preview" is a bit confusing. There was a "Wireshark 2 preview" in the 1.12 Windows installers up to 1.12.1.
