The buildbot is not green and we have a few bugs targeted at DOLFIN
1.1.1 (but also affecting 1.2.0) that needs to be fixed before the
release:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1100324
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1095679
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1143977

The release will therefore be postponed to next week.
