It's about 5 months old, and was released about the time of GNOME 3.0. 
Various point versions (bug fixes) have come out for the 2.12.x branch, 
but 2.12.0 (actually 2.11.x, but that's unstable) has the new API we need.

Here you go: http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=194837

does it work, are other packages using

Yes, the two packages that use gnutls in jhbuild are:

glib-networking and NetworkManager

Both versions build fine with gnutls 2.12.0.
