Hmmm probably not.

Perfectly understood. 1.1 and 1.2 both are difficult releases. Mainly 
because we could only fix them so much as they are based on what is 
fundamentally broken and insecure code (SQL Ledger).

1.3 is the first major step toward breaking away from that code base 
with already a ton of work being done on it.

Here is what I can say:

You like will *not* be able to upgrade from 1.1 to 1.3.
You can upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2
You "might" be able to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3
You "will" be able to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4
You "will" be able to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 (likely 2.0)

I know this is frustrating in the younger versions, but we didn't really 
have much of a choice but to break compatibility if we wanted to 
actually build sane software.

Sincerely,
