<h3>@TODAY@</h3>
-<p>After nearly two years of development, we are very proud to announce the
-release of Apache Axis2 @axisVersion@</p>
+<pre>Just over 6 months since the original 1.0 release, we are very proud to
+announce the release of Apache Axis2 version 1.1.
-<p><a href="http://ws.apache.org/axis2">http://ws.apache.org/axis2</a></p>
+Downloads are available at:
+ http://ws.apache.org/axis2/download.cgi
-<p>Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used
-Apache Axis SOAP stack to build on the lessons learnt from Apache Axis.</p>
-
-<p>Apache Axis2 is more efficient, more modular and more XML-oriented than
-the older version. It is carefully designed to support the easy addition of
-plug-in "modules" that extend its functionality for features such as security
-and reliability.</p>
-
-<p>A module supporting WS-Security (Apache Rampart), a module supporting
-WS-Reliable Messaging (Apache Sandesha) and a module supporting WS-Eventing
-(Savan) will be available soon after the Axis2 @axisVersion@ release.</p>
-
-<p>Apache Axis2 not only supports SOAP 1.1 and SOAP 1.2, but it also has
-integrated support for the widely popular REST style of Web services: the
-same business logic implementation can offer both a WS-* style interface as
-well as a REST style interface simultaneously.</p>
-
-<p>Apache Axis2 is built on Apache AXIOM, a new high performant, pull-based
-XML object model.</p>
-

+Apache Axis2 is a complete re-design and re-write of the widely used
+Apache Axis engine and is a more efficient, more scalable, more modular
+and more XML-oriented Web services framework. It is carefully designed to
+support the easy addition of plug-in "modules" that extend its
+functionality for features such as security and reliability.
+
+Modules supporting WS-Security/Secure-Conversation (Apache Rampart),
+WS-Trust (Apache Rahas), WS-Reliable Messaging (Apache Sandesha) and
+WS-Eventing (Apache Savan) will be available soon after the Apache Axis2
+1.1 release. Please see these projects' own sites for further information.
+
+Major Changes Since 1.0:
+- Significantly improved documentation
+- Significantly improved support for POJO services and clients
+- Significantly improved support for Spring services
+- Significantly improved Axis Data Binding (ADB) to increase schema
+ coverage and overall stability
+- Improved service lifecycle model
+- Improved JMS support
+- Improved handler and module interfaces
+- Improved Eclipse and Idea plugins
+- New Attachments API for sending & receiving MTOM and SwA attachments
+- Built in support for WS-Policy via Apache Neethi
+- Added support for unwrapping Web service requests
+- Fixed tons of small and not-so-small bugs
+- Major refactoring of release structure to make usage easy
+
+Known Issues and Limitations in 1.1 Release:
+- Unwrapping of response messages (coming in 1.2)
+- JSR 181/183 Annotation support (coming in 1.2)
+- JaxMe and JAXBRI data binding support is experimental
+
+Apache Axis2 1.1 is a major new release compared to Axis2 1.0. We are
+striving for a simple and happy first time user experience as well as a
+satisfying experienced user experience with this release. We welcome any
+and all feedback at:
+ axis-user@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
+ axis-dev@ws.apache.org (please include "[axis2]" in the subject)
