common-1.1.0  has been released into latest.  This is a development release
it is recommended for users to keep using the 1.0 branch in boxturtle.  If
you are wondering see http://www.ros.org/wiki/StackVersionPolicy

The primary part of this release is the addition of the
nodelet<http://www.ros.org/wiki/nodelet>package.  There was discussion
on the mailing list earlier about how this
can be used as an optimization.  If you are interested please take a look at
the documentation or code.  Feedback is always appreciated.
