Rene,

Feel free to send in the tickets.  There haven't been too many changes in
the areas you are working between 1.0 and 1.1 and because they are
compatibility patches we will likely put them into the next patch releases
on the 1.1 and 1.0 branches.

I expect that you can just clean and update to go to 1.1.  As above not a
lot has changed in the areas you are workon on to cause conflicts.

Tully
