Description of the problem:  
I’m trying to upload an experiment to Pavlovia. (I had the experiment on Pavlovia before, but I deleted the repository and also deleted the git folder from the local folder, changed the name of the folder and the experiment file.) However, when trying to upload the experiment, I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

PsychoPy version: 2021.1.0

This experiment is a version of another that has worked perfectly on Pavlovia and the modification I applied shouldn’t cause this error (at least I think so…) ☹

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

I wonder if it is related to the new version as mentioned here: [Problems with syncing and uploading Psychopy experiments to Pavlovia after update to 2021.1.0](https://discourse.psychopy.org/t/problems-with-syncing-and-uploading-psychopy-experiments-to-pavlovia-after-update-to-2021-1-0/20684) I finally reinstalled the 2020.1.3. version, and syncing works fine again, so it seems to be a version-related issue!

Yes, this has been brought up already and will be fixed in 2021.1.1

Thank you, Jon.  
Is there an estimate date for the release of the 2021.1.1 version?
