I believe the main motivation for moving to Validator 1.2.0 was that it
includes a fix for Bug 35127

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35127

Having said that, there are at least two changes in Struts 1.3.0 which
depend on Validator 1.2.0 which would need to be "backed out" in order to
revert to Validator 1.1.4

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=289694&view=rev
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?rev=279861&view=rev

Don has done quite a bit of work in the past 3/4 months to get Validator
into a state where its ready for a beta release (which IMO it was until this
issue came up) and I've been chipping in with a some changes towards that
goal as well:

http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev%40jakarta.apache.org/msg67372.html
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/validator/changelog-report.html

I think we should stick with Validator 1.2.0 and sort out this isssue. I
haven't yet had a look in detail at the changes that caused it, but I will
and it would also be good to hear Don's point of view.

Up to this point Don has been the main driving force for a Validator 1.2.0
release, but if he isn't able to complete it then I can make the time to
step in. As well as the changes already mentioned, there are a number of bug
fixes and the "inheritance feature" which IMO would be good to have in
Struts 1.3.0.
