Julia v1.1.0-rc1, the first 1.1 release candidate, is now available

That makes sense, but my question was subtly more general than your answer satisfies.

I’m also asking about the more general case when v1.x is released, let’s say v1.2, then it is recommended to continue testing for compatibility with v1.0 and v1.2, since v1.0 is long term. However, because v1.1 is a short term release, is it recommended to drop it from testing and only continue with v1.0 and v1.2 compatibility? Otherwise, the tests would keep getting longer and longer with each version.

It doesn’t necessarily make sense for the Julia package community to explicitly support v1.1 when (for example) v1.0 is long term and v1.2 is the current stable release. So my question is slightly more general, about what kind of compatibility people would like to expect out in the packages.
