How about calling it version 1.1 instead?  Then it won't seem like such a
large jump.

Publishing a fresh tarball with an identifiable version number will allow
more users to begin trying it out and giving feedback, even if we know there
might be issues.  It's not practical for some people to use software that is
not available as an RPM, FreeBSD port, deb, etc--lacking published tarballs
is currently blocking those distribution methods from existing.
