There is no specific upgrade tutorial yet for upgrading from 0.9.x to 1.1. It would be nice to have one though so we'd be happy to work with you to get one written. Thanks for the offer. To get started did you check the release notes for all the version from your version up to 1.1? The upgrade instructions are contained in each release notes. What we haven't done yet (and we should probably do it - feel free to modify the release notes to do this if you want) is to aggregate the upgrade instructions so that users don't have to look into each release note. It's also very possible that some upgrade instructions are missing from place to place so we need to work this out together. Let us know precisely what error you're now getting. I also know that some users have upgraded to 1.1 from 0.9.
