I'll let Florent answer this one in detail, but 1.1 is coming pretty
soon.   There have been a couple 1.0.x releases over the last couple
months, and Florent and the 1.x team have been doing a great job
improving things on that end.   1.1 has turned out to be a bit more
challenging to complete than we thought, mostly because we got a bit
more ambitious about what ought to be done in1.1.

As for 1.1 migration, you'll likely have to change a few things to go
from 1.x to 1.1, but it will be a relatively easy update, certainly it
should be significantly less than the 0.8 to 1.0 upgrade path from
last year.

Our goal is to make 1.0.x to be a place that is very friendly to
people looking for stability and are working on projects like yours
which may take a while to complete.   The 1.1 transition should be
reasonably smooth and should in turn make the 2.0 transition a bit
easier.  I would however stay away from Active Mapper -- which is no
longer supported by upstream -- if you're going to use SQLALchemy, use
it "in the raw" for now.

Asside from 1.1 or 2.0, we'll be switching the default ORM to
SQLAlchemy, and the default templating engine to Genshi.   SQLObject
and Kid will still be supported though, so you don't have to migrate
your existing projects.   In fact, the only problem you may see is
that the new documentation will cover these tools, and not the  old
ones.
