I am not really sure what changes their are but you can grab it from DMUpdater or go to DroidMod.org.

DM 1.1 is not out, DMUpdater 1.1 is however, they released an update to their updater but not to their ROM.
Hey guys I have nothing to do with DM team other than being a fan, and take no credit for this, but I've been checking their site religiously waiting for a new release. Well if looks like that time is here, kind of... An op on there IRC channel directed me to this link http://downloads.droidmod.org/droidmod-1.1-rc1.rom.tgz get it while its hot, 2.0.1 base... from my very minimal testing seems loads faster than the ese53 roms I was using... unfortunately I couldn't find a changelog.... if DM team didn't want this posted yet plz inform me... enjoy
Droidmod V1.1 RC1 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
This is what I read...I'll try a direct download today.
They're so far behind right now, I really see no reason to even try it.
It wasn't hateful at all... they're just still using 2.0.1 and their reasoning is kind of silly. I would like to see them release something that competes with the current offerings, but to be honest with you - no, I don't need to test a 2.0.1 ROM to know that it is inferior to an ESE53 2.1 ROM.
Whats up with the hating. DM guys are sharp dudes. Do you judge everything without testing it. How can you have informed decisions without experiance? I for one will try it just see how those guys are coming along.

Alright Boss...here are some thoughts from someone who has suffered through a day without Cyanogen...to test this out
I know this is just a RC...so this is not a end all, be all review
Stock theme, 2.0.1 ROM with many of the popular 2.1 apps that came out 3 months ago (MT gallery, MT browser from the Milestone, etc.), and 5 screens. LWP's are there...not interactive cause they use the "Home" 2d drawer, homescreen. Which is okay cause Helix2 is nice...oops...it will load but if you click on an app that is on the screen...Helix2 force closes. If you click an app in the 3D app drawer, it works Helix (the first one) works well though so at least you have that option.
The OC kernel is 5 slots and goes up to 1.2GHz. I got caught in a reboot loop when I took it up to 1.2...and that's what I run all the time without issue. Runs fine at 1.0GHz.
Not much else to speak of...it is just very much like DM 1.0. So for all you people are excited about the "new" DM coming out...I hope, for your sake, this isn't it. Don't get me wrong...there's really nothing wrong with is...but where is the advancement?
I'll theme it, finish loading all my personal settings and then I'll back it up and put that nandroid in the archives...then get back to Cyanogen...hell ya!
Edit: They have TempMonitor Lite on this Rom...that's a nice "native" app to see on a ROM. Even with less functionality...it does the job.
They're not coming along, that's the problem. Arguing that you should try out DroidMod is like arguing that everyone should put Windows 95 on their computer.
ESE53 is that much better than 2.0.1, it blows it out of the water in fact. The battery life is at least doubled, it is faster and everything is just more polished. And yes, the upgrade from XP to 7 is huge and very worth it.DM 1.0 is fine for now anyway. Who really gives a shit about this ESE? People are drawing battle lines over it for no real reason other than to say it's new new new new new. It's pretty much like justifying moving from XP to Windows 7. Why?

In all fairness...I'll flash anything...off I go!
Edit: Okay...roadblock. I'm running Cyanogen and DM Updater is not seeing my sd card as being dismounted from my PC...I'll screw with it tomorrow.
Maybe my ROM is watermarked! lol
I am having the same issue with DMUpdater 11. SD card unmounted. Strange.
Edit:
mwesley6492 posted on the DroidMod site the following information:
"easy solution get rom manager from app market go all the way to the bottom and it will give an option to flash alternate recovery which should be 99.3 then you will be able to run droidmod"
This didn't work for me.
