I've posted alpha 1 of XOM 1.1 in the usual location:

http://www.xom.nu/unstable.html

There are no major changes since 1.1d6. There've been a few bug fixes in 
XOMTestCase, and I've also done a little profiling on the test suite to 
get it down to about two minutes total execution time. It had been 
climbing upwards of five minutes, even on very fast hardware, which was 
excessive.

XOM 1.1 is now mostly feature complete. I may add a method or two before 
final release, and the API for the new parts should still be considered 
unstable. However, I do want to get 1.1 out sooner rather than later. I 
think this is the first iteration in the 1.1 cycle I will announce 
beyond this list, possibly as early as tomorrow.

There's definitely some optimization yet to be done, and at least one 
significant bug to be fixed in XPath compilation. However, all the core 
functionality is present, so it seems like a good time to call it an 
alpha, and release it.
