Just how old is the version of JSF (Sun implementation) that we are using?

I'm new to JSF and am having LOTS of problems at my client with this technology. I'm a Sr. level developer, 7+ years of J2EE, experienced with Apache Ofbiz implentation.

I suspect that many of my issues are due to working with such an old release. My client has Sun's implemntation and the release is:
jsf-api jar dated 9/12/2004 size 356 kb

Can anyone point me to a URL which indicates just how many issues have been corrected since this release? I'm beating my head against the wall, probably needlessly since this release appears to be so obsolete. I am thinking that the issues I am having are related to one or more of the following:

1. working with an obsolete Sun release or

2. Faulty implemtation altogether (eg, MyFaces impl may be much more robust) or

3. JSF is just a buggy, poorly designed, hard to learn product .

Please comment! I respect your expert opinions. By the way, where did the controller go?? My implemntation is MV, not MVC.

Thanks!
