The lables are indeed wrong and should read SRV11 and SRV12 as you said. Here's the C3PO closeup with the new settings:
Here are a number of comparisons between SRV11 and SRV12. I've adjusted the settings for SRV12 somewhat.

V11 is without dehaloing.
That may be true, but there are ~142000 more frames. ;-) I will post a few more comparisons.
Here is the comparison for the infamous R2D2 frame for SRV10 and SRV12:
The difference between SRV10/SRV11 and SRV12 is that the antialiasing is far better for V12.

The dehaloing was discussed a number of posts ago. The conclusion was that it destroyed too much detail.
How many scans do you have at the moment? Do you plan to release any of the raw scans (downscaled to 1080p)?
Very interesting! Great looking screenshot btw. What's the source?
From what I've seen from Team Negative1 there seem to be large differences in detail between the different prints used for the three films, but also within the same film. How do you expect your scans to turn out? The screenshots you posted look incredibly detailed.
That might be the case in some instances, but I do not believe it's the case for the example you used ;-). Here's a comparison with the same frame for Harmy's DE:

The door frame and stormtrooper on the right are clearly in focus, and also the stormtrooper on the left is more in focus than seen in the GOUT.
Looking awesome poita!
Here's the same frame for the GOUT enhanced with super resolution:

Here it also seems just some stuff in the shadows.
Sadly no screenshots yet for TESB, but here are a few more for SW done with SRV12:

That screenshot also looks extremely blurred. Is that due to fading of the LPP print? I thought LPP was supposed to be low fade.
The video sample sadly is posponed a few days, due to some problems with my computer. It's up and running again, so hopefully it will be finished by the end of the week.
I will attempt do the gate weave after I have posted the video sample. The video sample will be a good test case.
Have you guys considered it might be the digital cleanup that causes the socalled compression problems (I'm also addressing the members who have seen the preview)? Considering what Adywan said, I find it hard to believe it is the actual compression that is the culprit. However, digital cleanup and compression have a lot in common. I'm reminded of this post, where the cleanup clearly destroyed a lot of detail:

Looking at that comparison, it is clear that apart from the obvious problem, a certain amount of depth and clarity appears to have been lost, although it is difficult to see at that resolution.
I think it might be a good idea for the team to post some screenshot comparisons at high quality to see what's been gained and what has been lost.
Tomorrow I expect to put up the 10 min video sample for SRV12. Yep, we're skipping SRV11. Here's a single screenshot comparison at 720p (because it is easier to see the entire frame):

The video will be 1080p.
Great, if you keep going at this rate you will beat The Force Awakens to the punch!
Am I correct in assuming the color correction will take place when your final cleaned work print has been assembled or have some scenes already been corrected?
Thanks StarWars4Ever!
Well at least the AR is consistent with any official release of the OT since 1993. ;-)
Thanks Brooks! There is such a thing as single frame super resolution, which uses the fact that images are often self similar. However, these results are generally not as good as multi-frame/image super resolution.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Back to the aspect ratio mystery. Here's two comparisons with Harmy's DE. Some aspects of the frames seem to suggest that the AR should be wider, while others suggest to opposite. Anyone?
It's their project, so they've got to do it the way they see fit. It's just that exclusivity is a bit of a turn off for me, but that's just my opinion. That doesn't change the fact that what's been achieved is extremely admirable.
Who is an early supporter and who isn't seems to have become a little murky lately. I don't have a problem with the fact that contributers (financial or otherwise) to the project get an early preview, but why make this big announcement on an open forum, if only a select few get to see it initially? It's like an announcement that says we're having a party and you're not invited. However, if you wait at the door, we probably will let you in eventually.
