Hi Francesco,

we are currently working  on 1.1.X. I guess the project we are working on will 
end up in a two or three of months.
Do you know (or can give us a forecast) about 1.2.0 release date?

Many thanks,
Denis.

Thanks Denis :-)

Hum, this is a bit more complicated.

In Syncope 1.1.X, both Spring MVC and CXF are available, hence there are two 
different ways to construct client code (see this project of mine [3] to get an 
idea) that will interact with two different RESTful interfaces.

One can think to backport SyncopeClient from 1.2.X and only provide support for 
CXF services; unfortunately there are some unfinished aspects with CXF in 1.1.X 
that were completed in 1.2.X (SYNCOPE-285 and related, for example) that would 
result in a somehow limited SyncopeClient capabilities.
Again, at least part of such "incompleteness" can be backported as well but the 
whole task can become quite large.

Personally, I have not enough spare cycles to dedicate to this, but I am 
available to help anyone else willing to step in.

Regards.
