Yes -- and you'll probably also want to upgrade your task-tinydb rpm
since the tinyos distrubution doesn't include tinydb updates;
task-tinydb has been updated three times since the 1.1.0 release. You
can get that update for windows/linux here:
http://www.tinyos.net/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/windows/
http://www.tinyos.net/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/linux/
