The developer of the package, Kenneth Goldman has expressed the following
concern:

"..this is a huge task.  1.1 is not at all backward compatible with 1.0, and
will likely break almost everything, not just the TSS."

"It's not just a recompile.  It's a major redesign.

The issue is that they decided to make many structures opaque, and so
applications like the TSS (and the TPM) that require manipulation of key
material change completely.

For example, a typical case, going from an RSA TPM key (n,d,e) to an openssl
key structure.

1.0 - direct access to RSA structure using BIGNUMs, no setter and getter API
1.1 - RSA structure is opaque, setters and getters implemented

1.0 is on long term support, and they will likely coexist for many years"
