Ah, sorry, and thanks for catching this.  RPM building procedure
is somewhat tricky, and I failed to catch this bug.  Fixed in my
tree --- this calls for an early 1.1.1 release I guess.

On the other hand, if you are building from the source, what
Andreas said applies, and in addition you need to fetch v1.1.0
tag before building; otherwise the versioning mechanism would not
notice you are building v1.1.0.
