If you want to stick to stable version please just use the actual 1.0.0. That said, the new 1.1.0 release is just an update of the 1.0.0 one, sporting the new 2.6.19 kernel I`ve packaged, see this changelog. You can dist-upgrade from a plain 1.0.0 install using the testing repository. Note that the upgrade works only with the amd64 edition, as unfortunately the i386 edition was shipped without the kernel upgrade package."
