-			Apache UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) v2.3.0
-		   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
+			Apache UIMA (Unstructured Information Management Architecture) v2.3.1 SDK
+		  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
-What's New in 2.3.0
--------------------
+What's New in 2.3.1
+------------------- 
 
-  Java 5 Generification
-  ---------------------
-  
-  Many of the core components have been updated to include a Generic Type.
-  This mainly affects the various indexing and iterating classes and interface
-  APIs.  Previous code using the non-generic APIs should continue to work.  
-
-  Components
-  ----------
-  
-  UIMA-AS was moved out of the Sandbox to the top level.  It no longer is
-  a wholly contained binary download, but requires downloading the base UIMA
-  as well.
-  
-  The Cas Editor was moved out of the Sandbox and changed
-  into an Eclipse plugin that is now a fully integrated tool 
-  within the main UIMA project.
+  Build
+  -----
   
-  Several components were added to the Sandbox release - 
-  see the README for that for details.
+  The build process was redone to align it with normal Maven build procedures, where possible.
+  There is a new top-level directory in our SVN called "build" which holds the build tooling.
+  The new build tooling is described in general on the website 
+  http://uima.apache.org/maven-design.html
+ 
   
-  The classes supporting ecore were moved out of the core and into the examples, to 
-  allow the core and runtime modules to not require the ecore support bundles.
-  A readme was added to inform users how to set up their installation to make 
-  use of the ecore functionality.  
+  Result Specification
+  --------------------
   
-  Running PEARs as components in a pipe-line was improved: parameters,
-  performance reporting, CAS Multipliers are all now supported.
+  The implementation handling the result specification was redone to correct several corner case issues.
   
-  The OpenNLP wrappers were removed from the examples project, because they were
-  out of date with the OpenNLP project, and that project has now produced
-  UIMA wrappers - so they should be obtained from there.  
  
   Performance
   -----------
 
-  Many improvements to core UIMA were made reducing the framework overhead, and reducing its footprint, as 
-  a result of careful measurement of its use in a very large scaled-out project needing low latency.
+  The Component Descriptor Editor (CDE) (an Eclipse tool) had potentially poor performance when
+  editing aggregate descriptors that referenced many remote components.  The performance in this
+  case has been greatly improved.
   
-  Communication between Clients and Remote Services now use a "Delta CAS" protocol, where only the changes
-  from the Remote Service are sent back to the client.
   
-  A new and more efficient form of serialization for CASes going to and from Remote Services via UIMA-AS,
-  called binary serialization, is available.
-
- 
-  Robustness
-  ----------
-  
-  UIMA-AS has had many enhancements to handling unusual and error situations, based on feedback from the
-  initial release.
-  
-  
-  Tools
-  -----
-  
-  A new Eclipse tool, the CasEditor, allows users to work with CASes.
-  
-  A new UimaBootstrap launcher can be used to simplify class paths; besides directories of
-  .class files and .jar files, it can also take directories of .jar files and adds all the
-  jars found in the directory to the classpath.
-  
-  Sources for Jars in Maven
-  -------------------------
-  
-  If you use Maven, you will find that the UIMA Jars now have Source Jar attachments, and the
-  mvn eclipse:eclipse command will attach these sources so that Eclipse can find the
-  source files that correspond to the Jars.
-  
- 
-  Potential Incompatibilities
-  ---------------------------
-  
-  The default name generated by the XmiWriterCasConsumer in the examples
-  has been changed to include the ".xmi" suffix.
