Oops - I wasn't thinking when I wrote that. :) Here's what I meant.
Yes, Shotwell 0.12 will support Oneiric. We'll be able to build for
Oneiric using Vala 0.16 from the Vala PPA (which currently includes Vala
0.15.1 for Oneiric):
https://launchpad.net/~vala-team/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=oneiric
Recall that Vala is necessary for building Shotwell, but not for
running. If you just want Shotwell 0.12 for Oneiric, you'll be able to
get it from the Yorba PPA. If you want to build it yourself, you'll be
able to get Vala 0.16 from the Vala PPA.

valac-0.12 package which we should be able to use for the build:

Hi, does this mean you'll be dropping support for Ubuntu 11.10
(Oneiric) in the next update? Taking a peek into the current
repository I see Oneiric just has valac-.14 (I think this is the vala
we're all talking about) and Precise has .16. Going further and
looking at Yorbas PPA for Shotwell I see that only Shotwell itself is
being maintained in there. Unless this changes it seems 11.10 users
will either have to grab vala by themselves or live with an outdated
version of Shotwell.

Do you plan to release a version of shotwell that works with the
current stable releases of vala?
Actually we have no such plan. I wish that we had been able to
support Vala 0.14.x in the last stable release of Shotwell (0.11,
which appeared last August). Unfortunately we didn't look at
Vala 0.13.x until too late in the development cycle, and at that
point it was too risky to make the changes we'd need to support
the newer Vala, so Shotwell 0.11 builds with Vala 0.12. To avoid
making the same mistake again, in the current development cycle
we've been tracking Vala 0.15 all along, so the upcoming Shotwell
0.12 will certainly build with Vala 0.16.
You might be able to backport the current Shotwell trunk
(0.11.9x) to Vala 0.14 without too much effort. I don't think we
have the resources to implement (and test and maintain) that at
Yorba, however. I recommend that you not attempt to build the
older Shotwell 0.11 with Vala 0.14, however, since that will
expose a dangerous data corruption bug (see
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4201).
