--------------------------------

The Apache Derby project is pleased to announce feature release 10.9.1.0.

Apache Derby is a subproject of the Apache DB project. Derby is a pure 
Java relational database engine which conforms to the ISO/ANSI SQL and 
JDBC standards. Derby aims to be easy for developers and end-users to 
work with.

Derby 10.9.1.0 can be obtained from the Derby download site:

    http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html.


Derby 10.9.1.0 contains the following new features:

     * NATIVE authentication - Derby now provides better credentials 
management to replace BUILTIN authentication.
     * JDBC 4.1 escape syntax - Most of Derby's JDBC 4.1 support was 
provided in release 10.8.1.2. This release supplies the remaining bits: 
object mapping and new escape syntax.
     * Multi-column EXISTS subqueries - Multi-column SELECT lists are 
now allowed in EXISTS subqueries.

In addition, Derby 10.9.1.0 contains many bug, security, and 
documentation fixes.

Please try out this new release.

This looks fine to me. I was wondering if you might want more detail on 
the NATIVE authentication changes, but after more thought, I don't 
believe it is really needed.
