In anticipation of a release of standard  1.2, I have deployed a new version to 
Apache's snapshot Maven repository:
  http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/

I have run this version through the TCK and it passes but have not had a chance 
to test it against real-world applications. I'd like to make a call out for 
pre-release testers who would be willing to report any issues they may find in 
real applications.

To use this version, the following POM fragment will pull in the dependencies 
needed to use tags from JSTL 1.1 and later.
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.apache.taglibs</groupId>
>             <artifactId>taglibs-standard-spec</artifactId>
>             <version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
>         </dependency>
>         <dependency>
>             <groupId>org.apache.taglibs</groupId>
>             <artifactId>taglibs-standard-impl</artifactId>
>             <version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
>         </dependency>


This also supports JSTL 1.0-rt tags. If you use JSTL 1.0 non-rt tags you will 
also need to add an additional dependency on taglibs-standard-jstlel to bring 
in the original JSTL EL engine.

If you use the XML tags, you will also need add a dependency on Apache Xalan 
2.7.1 (xalan-2.7.1.jar and serializer-2.7.1.jar).

If you find any problems or things that could be improved, please open an issue 
in Bugzilla:
  https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Taglibs

If no major problems are found I will aim to release 1.2.0 later this month.
Cheers
Jeremy
