The 1.1 branch is not maintained any more. The last version in the 
branch (1.1.9) is available for download, in case users of 1.1.x want to 
upgrade to the last release in their current branch instead of upgrading 
to 1.2.x which contains functional changes to 1.1.

This is going to be a problem.

Slony-I was not designed to support self modifying code. It works best 
with a static schema.

Aside from that there is no mechanism in Postgres that would trigger any 
notification in case of a schema change, so how would Slony-I even be 
aware of a newly created table? And even if it could figure that out, 
how would it know which new table to add to which replication set (if at 
all)?
