I'd suggest 1.1.x. I actually changed it to this in later versions of
the non-GUI installer. It used to be 1.1.0 and that caused problems
so I changed it to 1.1.x.
Hopefully the number of people who think that 'x' denotes something
besides a place-holder will be less than the number of people who
think that 1.1 != 1.1.4.
