Hi all,

XviD 1.1.0 has been released on Dec 30, ~18:00 CET (see the official 
announcements on the XviD mailing lists and homepage). At that time also
the download page and links on the XviD page have been updated to reflect
the availability of 1.1.0 final. Since then, the release tarballs have
not been changed.

Regards,
Michael
