oauth availability

Hi,
I'm developing an app to import pics into Smugmug. It's a multi-user web application, and I'd need to get authorization from the user.
I've already used OAuth successfully with Picasa, and I want to replicate this workflow with Smugmug.
I wanted to use the Kallasoft Java libs, which are based on the 1.2.0 API. From my understanding OAuth is only available from 1.2.2, which is still beta and had a big warning of being in flux.
So I'm left with some questions:
- is there an authorization possibility in API 1.2.0?
- can I reliably develop a product using smugmug oauth?
Thanks in advance!

No, there isn't a possibility of OAuth in API 1.2.2 a lot of the underlying code was written to support both Basic Auth and OAuth.
Yes, we have a number of partners using OAuth, so it's the version I say to implement if people ask us.
There are two things holding us back from making 1.2.2 officially our supported release: documentation and implementing the stats methods. Our documentation is almost finished and i'll implement the stat methods once that is finished.
