Title: Apache River News
+# Apache River 2.2.3 Released - February 21, 2016
+
+Apache River 2.2.3 is a maintenance release based on the Apache River 2.2. branch. It removes the Activation
+subsystem, which was largely unused, and support for JRMP under the Java Extensible Remote Invocation subsystem.
+The Java Remote Method Protocol is obsolete in the context of JERI. It was previously included to allow compatibility
+with Jini 1.0 services and clients. The transition to Jini 2.0 should be complete by now.
