Screw it, 1.1.0 when I get back to Austin.

Ok, guys.
When I get back to Austin, I'm cutting a 1.1.0 release. I'm not going to have
time to do fix everything I want to out of the great bug list, but what else
is new? There will be a 1.1.1, and 1.0.1 has plenty of bugs that are already
fixed in svn now and thus won't be in 1.1.0.
I won't be back in Austin before Thursday, so I won't be putting out the
release before the 6th. But I may not have that much time to work on it
between now and then. So I'm asking everybody: bug fixes only now, what are
our show stoppers, that we can fix by Friday?
I spent most of today fiddling with the endless corner cases that are the
mount command, and I'm going to try to get that untangled but I may just have
to say "ok, -o remount, or combining -a with -t, just don't work the way they
should right now, but they will in the next dot release". Yes, we've got
testcases that still fail. (I should know, I added some for sed.) Yes,
we've got unclosed bugs in the bug generator. But 1.1.0 has a lot of bugs
from 1.0.1 fixed, and it's an improvement over what's out there. Waiting for
new bugs to stop being reported, and interesting new features to stop showing
up, is not a winning strategy.
I meant to get a -pre release out before christmas, but I just haven't had any
spare time at all for the past couple weeks. I'm trying to get the project
on a more regular release schedule, and the only way to do that is to
release.

P.S. (I'm sorry, but the dns thing missed the window. It's a candidate for
1.1.1, but I haven't got time to play with it right now. I'm currently
aiming to get 1.1.1 out at the start of march, but that won't happen if 1.1.0
hasn't shipped yet. :)
