I spent some time to attempt to upgrade the guts of Forrest to utilise today's Cocoon-2.1.12-dev version.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-1240 Hooray, it works. As explained there it would also be good to upgrade some of the supporting products dependencies in Cocoon. Forrest has some that are newer than Cocoon and vice versa. We probably each have some that are out-of-date. -David
