Congratulations and thank you to all the POI team.
We have been using 1.8-dev in a "live" environment for 10 months, but I'm
sure having a proper release will widen the use of POI as organizations with
"Release Version Only" policies will be able to deploy the great work you
guys have done.
The only comment I have is that the main Jakarta news page
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news.html) does not include the anouncement
of POI 2.0, and neither does the POI news blog.

Sorry, Glen, but codepage support and read and write support and in the CVS HEAD, not in 2.0.
Aside from that, thanks for doing the release!

Nope. HWPF is in pre-alpha. It is still being worked on.
