I guess 1.1a-x was meant as a snapshot from the current branch and       the official release would become 1.1.0.              There is not much developing going on. It's mostly a bug fix or other minor       changes every couple of month. In that sense it's pretty stable. I think you       also could call it a rolling release.               CN> What's new in 1.1a since 1.0?              No need to wait for a "stable" 1.1 release, it's stable enough. Just make sure       you get at least 1.1a-101, 1.1a-99 and below had some nasty bugs.              ---        * Origin: .
