after ionic team has officially released ionic 1.2 versions I checked

ionic -v

command to get my current version and I found it 1.7.12, then I did

npm install -g ionic

hopefully to update my current version and it just still on the previous version 1.7.12, so what is just the command I have to run to get the ionic 1.2 instead of ionic 1 which I already have now?

It is not a bug in npm, the 1.7.12 version that is shown when you run:

ionic -v
1.7.12

is the ionic-cli version, the command line utility, you can find it here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ionic

The ionic 1.2 version that you are expecting, is the ionic framework version: http://code.ionicframework.com/# latest is 1.2.4 - Copenhagen

If you want to check the framework version that your app is running, go to your app directory and type:

ionic lib
Local Ionic version: 1.2.4  (<path>/myApp/www/lib/ionic/version.json)
Latest Ionic version: 1.2.4  (released 2016-01-08)
 * Local version up to date

It may be bug with npm.

First Uninstall ionic and cordova using

npm uninstall cordova ionic

Then update node and npm

Install cordova and ionic 

npm install -g cordova ionic

Check the version.
