There has been no new release for JCE 1.2 yet.
Every new release will be clearly marked and distinguished
from previous ones.
We are considering releasing another early access package
for JCE (JCE 1.2 ea2) shortly, but if we do so, we will make sure
everybody finds out.

Please check

for a list of changes/enhancements that will be included in the
next release.

Thanks,

Jan
