I would go for the 1.11 release only. As far as I can see there wasn't 
any big incompatible change, but all the samm changes add up to a lot of 
changed behaviour.

I also would like to see a new GUI release. Here again everybody was 
very careful no to introduce any incompatible change, which totally 
stopped development in some areas of GUI. Either just before the next 
release of GUI or immediatly after it we need a time to do incompatible 
changes that have accumulated over the last six months.
