I just tagged the 1.1 release of libibverbs and pushed it out to
my git tree on kernel.org:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/infiniband/libibverbs.git

(the name of the tag is libibverbs-1.1).

I've also copied a tarball into my home directory on openfabrics.org,
with sha1sum:

    505a1ce7e3bbc2f0b3e7cdcb3cc24cc5603dbc86  libibverbs-1.1.tar.gz

I would appreciated it if someone with access could move this into the
right directory to appear in <http://www.openfabrics.org//downloads/>

This is the first full release in a new major release cycle for
libibverbs, so I've also updated the stable branch to point at the
libibverbs 1.1 branch and renamed the 1.0 branch to stable-1.0.

Full compatibility with earlier libibverbs 1.0 releases is not
preserved.  Low-level device drivers will need to be rebuilt to work
with libibverbs 1.1.  However, a versioned ABI is provided so that
applications dynamically linked with libibverbs 1.0 should work.  I
don't know of any major source level incompatibilities that would
prevent an application that compiles against libibverbs 1.0 from
building and working with libibverbs 1.1.

A git shortlog of the changes since libibverbs-1.1-rc2 is below:

Roland Dreier (4):
      Add missing newline to rlimit(MEMLOCK) warning
      Fix ibv_srq_pingpong option handling
      Change a few references from OpenIB to OpenFabrics
      Roll libibverbs 1.1 release
