I would love to get ahold of the 1.12 API docs but it appears all traces of it have been wiped from existence and everything points to 1.16 or OpenUI5 now. Makes it tough to figure out the old namespaces and packaging of some controls. I'll do a JSON.stringify on the sap object and the zen object tomorrow and paste a dump of the object tree if that helps.
Agreed that that a newer version should be used in a future release.
