WDL 1.1 Planned
I would like to use WDL v1.1 in Terra/AnVIL, since I need one of the new features (`Directory` output). When will WDL v1.1 be supported?

Hi all, Cromwell support for WDL 1.1 is coming soon. Follow our roadmap article to see updates: https://support.terra.bio/hc/en-us/articles/33963311699483.
`development` is currently supported (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), and you can try that feature there. But they say that it's a bit dangerous to use `development` because it is subject to change.
I agree -- personally I wish that even if Cromwell did not support 100% of the 1.1 spec, that it would still run on a WDL file that declared "version 1.1" up top anyway and I think users / authors would understand if it still failed on certain unsupported functions/features. I'd rather have a Terra that accepted a "version 1.1" file but had incomplete support of the spec, than force us all to use "version development". This means a single WDL file (that said "1.1") is more cross portable across different execution engines w/o being edited (but right now Terra will reject it outright). Right now, we'd need to make two versions of the same WDL (one for Terra and one for everything else)
