I am not the person responsible for releasing the code, but just a contributor. If you have been successfully keeping your system up to date, then 1.1 will be "close" to one of the versions that you have supped. (I could be wrong.) If you are looking to do an upgrade from 1.0 -- look out, it can cause problems. If I wasn't keeping fairly up to date myself, I would wait for the CDROM. You can do it, but sometimes you can make a minor mistake and hose your system (this can happen on any software like this.) I personally LIKE to keep up-to-date and enjoy working on software like this... John dyson@implode.root.com
