   Is it? I really don't know. There was a time were versions like 2.3g were not   
   uncommon. 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.
