There's three bugs and two feature requests left until 1.1 is ready to roll! Finally it looks like we've got on top of the long list of issue and will be able to get a release out later this month.

Here's a quite explanation of how things will progress over the next while:

Once the bugs and feature requests are fixed, we will release the first, and possibly only, release candidate of 1.1. This will be a release that we consider "good enough" for 1.1 - no major crashing bugs, upgrade from 1.0 works, new functionality works.

We'll let that circulate for a few days, to give people a change to have one last go at testing upgrades and looking for major bugs. If there's nothing reported that's too major, we'll do the 1.1 release, otherwise, there will be a second (and potentially third) release candidate.

The 1.1 release will no doubt need some tweaking and minor fixes, which I'm sure will be reported back to us quickly. So there will probably be a series of point releases after 1.1 to iron out the kinks. We'll fully support you if you upgraded from any version of 1.0 to 1.1 though, and hopefully the testing we've done means the upgrade path doesn't break, even if some minor things don't work in 1.1.

Meanwhile, we'll be working hard on the import/export functionality for 1.2. This is the only feature planned for 1.2, and we hope to have it released quite quickly, by mid this year even.

So, look out for Mahara 1.1 RC1 real soon now!
