+
+<h3>1. What is Apache Ivy?</h3>
+
+Apache Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and reporting)
+project dependencies.
+It is characterized by the following:
+
+ 1. flexibility and configurability
+ Apache Ivy is essentially process agnostic and is not tied to any
+ methodology or structure.
+ Instead it provides the necessary flexibility and configurability
+ to be adapted to a broad range of dependency management and build
+ processes.
+ 2. tight integration with Apache Ant
+ while available as a standalone tool, Apache Ivy works particularly well
+ with Apache Ant providing a number of powerful Ant tasks ranging
+ from dependency resolution to dependency reporting and publication.
+
+<h3>2. Status of this release</h3>
+
+This is the second release of Ivy since it has graduated as a sub project of Apache Ant.
+As a beta version, we encourage the use of this version for testing and validation.
+Still API and features are still likely to change until final 2.0.0 version.
+
+The current production quality version is still 1.4.1, which has not been produced
+within the Apache Software Foundation.
+
+<h3>3. Major Changes in this Release</h3>
+
+This section describes what has changed between version 1.4.1 and this version of
+Apache Ivy which may cause incompatibilities. For a full list of detailed changes,
+please refer to CHANGES.txt file.
+
+This new version of Apache Ivy is almost fully compatible with 1.4 version as long
+as you do not use custom plugins: Ivy API has changed, but not its behavior.
+
+Some tasks and configuration elements have been renamed, but the old versions
+are still available, they are only deprecated (you will see deprecated warnings).
+
+<h4>3.1. Java Package Name Changes</h4>
+
+All of the Ivy Java package names have changed in Apache Ivy. They now start
+with org.apache rather than fr.jayasoft. There have been other changes as well.
+Important refactorings have done on the source code to ease the understanding
+of Ivy internal architecture by new developers.
+
+A class named org.apache.ivy.Ivy14 is provided with an API compatible with the
+fr.jayasoft.Ivy class of Ivy 1.4.1, to ease migration to this new version.
+
+<h4>3.2. Configuration replaced by Settings</h4>
+
+Configuration used to have two meanings in prior Ivy versions, causing some confusion
+with new users.
+To avoid this confusion, Apache Ivy calls settings instead of configuration the files
+used to customize Ivy. Configuration is still used for module configurations.
+
+Besides the changes in the documentation, this renaming also imply a modification
+in settings files, which now use ivysettings as root element instead of ivyconf,
+and settings instead of conf element to define top level defaults (such as
+defaultCache, ...).
+Previous names have been deprecated, so previous settings files can still be used, but
+you will see a deprecation warning.
+
+<h4>3.3. Review of settings loading</h4>
+
+This new Ivy version experience with a new way of loading the settings. The configure task
+is deprecated, and replaced by a settings task. By using the settings task, you can
+easily use several settings inside one Ant build script, and use a scope to tell Ivy which
+settings to use when calling a task which requires some settings.
+
+This is still an experiment though, so feedback is very welcome in the mailing lists.
+
+<h4>3.4. Public resolver in default settings is now ibiblio in m2 compatible mode</h4>
+
+In previous versions Ivy used to use the ivyrep resolver as default public resolver,
+but ivyrep is no longer maintained, while maven 2 repository on ibiblio is growing rapidly.
+
+Since Ivy is compatible with maven 2 repository, defaulting to the ibiblio maven 2
+repository makes more sense.
+
+If you have any issue of backward compatibility with these new settings, you can simply
+set the following ant property before loading the settings (implicitly or explicitly):
+ivy.14.compatible=true
+
+<h4>3.5. Relative paths resolution</h4>
+
+Relative paths resolution in Ivy used to be resolved against the current directory.
+Some work is in progress in this area, currently relative path resolution for the inclusion
+of configuration files in Ivy files has been modified to work relative to the Ivy file in which
+the configurations are included.
+
+This may break your dependency resolution if you used to use relative paths for configuration
+file inclusion.
+
+<h4>3.6 Ivyrep ivyroot attribute is now mandatory</h4>
+
+If you still use the ivyrep resolver, you will need to provide an ivyroot.
+To restore the previous behavior, use ivyroot="http://ivyrep.jayasoft.org/".
+
+Since Ivyrep is not maintained anymore, we recommend moving away from this repository anyway.
+
+<h3>4. Migrating from Jayasoft Ivy to Apache Ivy</h3>
+
+Besides what is stated in "3. Major Changes in this Release"
+Apache Ivy is fully compatible with Jayasoft Ivy as long as you do not use
+custom plugins.
+This means that you can use Apache Ivy as a drop in replacement of Jayasoft Ivy
+in most cases.
+
+However due to the the renaming of configuration files to settings files, we
+strongly suggest to update your configuration files:
+- rename the files called ivyconf*.xml in ivysettings*.xml
+- rename 'ivyconf' element in 'ivysettings'
+- rename 'conf' element of those settings file in 'settings'
+
+We also suggest using the new org.apache.ivy.ant package name for the antlib declaration.
+
+Migrating custom plugins can be done by using the org.apache.ivy.Ivy14 class
+instead of fr.jayasoft.ivy.Ivy, and reorganizing your imports to reflect the
+changes in the package names.
+
+<h3>5. How to Get Involved</h3>
+
+The Apache Ivy project really needs and appreciates any contributions,
+including documentation help, source code and feedback. If you are interested
+in contributing, please visit http://ant.apache.org/ivy/get-involved.html.
+
+<h3>6. How to Report Issues</h3>
+
+The Apache Ivy project uses JIRA for issue tracking. Please report any
+issues you find at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY
+
+<h3>7. Committers and Contributors for this Release</h3>
+
+Here is the list of people who have contributed source code and documentation
+to this release. Many thanks to all of them, and also to the whole Ivy community
+contributing ideas and feedback, and promoting the use of Ivy. The list would be too
+long, but Ivy couldn't be what it is without you!
