Oh, that leads to an explanation, too. Does this help?

$ gem list -d mongrel

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

mongrel (1.1.5, 1.1.4, 1.1.3, 1.0.1)
     Author: Zed A. Shaw
     Rubyforge: http://rubyforge.org/projects/mongrel
     Homepage: http://mongrel.rubyforge.org
     Installed at (1.1.5): /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
                  (1.1.4): /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
                  (1.1.3): /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8
                  (1.0.1): /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/ 
Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8

     A small fast HTTP library and server that runs Rails, Camping,  
Nitro
     and Iowa apps.

$ gem dep mongrel -v=1.1.4
Gem mongrel-1.1.4
   gem_plugin (>= 0.2.3, runtime)
   daemons (>= 1.0.3, runtime)
   fastthread (>= 1.0.1, runtime)
   cgi_multipart_eof_fix (>= 2.4, runtime)


So there doesn't appear to be any difference in the dependencies  
between 1.1.4 and 1.1.5.
