Well, 1.0.1 is the latest release of the 1.0.x branch, essentially the MGPL code that Netscape fixed in it's development and release of Netscape 7.0.

1.1 is the, um, 1.1.x branch, intended to be used by whatever vendors (Netscape, Beonex, whomever) want to create a release based on 1.1

1.2a (beta hasn't been released, yet, AFAIK) is a snapshot off the current trunk, which will eventually become the 1.2 branch. Current nightly builds will probably be labeled 1.2b

So, 1.0.1 is newer than 1.1, but doesn't have all of the features of 1.1. 1.0.1 should be the same as Netscape 7.0 in features, except for the AOL cruft that Netscape needs to put in.

This is all fairly well explaind on the roadmap found on the Mozilla.org site, http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html
