Hello again,

As you probably know, we are currently working both in 1.9 and 2.0 
versions, and we hope to release 1.9 soon. Therefore, I doubt we wish to 
spend resources in 1.1.2 version at this time (this is a personal opinion).

If you are in a hurry, fixing bugs in gvSIG TRUNK will make 1.9 version 
to release earliear.

Best regards,

   César
