<h3>About this release</h3>
-<p>This is Axis 1.1. <em><TBD></em></p>
+<p>This release is primarily an upgrade to fix a number of bugs in the 1.0 release.
+ Since it took longer than we expected, you'll also find a bunch of new features
+ in there.</p>
+<p>We still have a *lot* of <a href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/">open
+ bugs</a> on the books, so please realize that this is not a completely polished
+ work yet. After 1.1 ships we hope / plan to do a lot of work cleaning things
+ up and adding some much-needed functionality which is currently missing, in
+ hopes of releasing a much better 1.2 release in the not-too-distant future.</p>
+<p>We say this a lot, but it's worth repeating - you can help! If you've got coding
+ skill, interest, and a little free time, we'd love to have you join the Axis
+ community and help make the product better - see below.</p>
<h3>Changes From 1.0 to 1.1</h3>
-<p><em><TBD></em></p>
+<ul>
+ <li>Vastly improved SOAP 1.2 support</li>
+ <li>Added an email transport</li>
+ <li>Added serializers/deserializers for Castor compatibility</li>
+ <li>Improved WSDL schema generation APIs for custom types</li>
+ <li>Misnamed org.apache.axis.encoding.DefaultSOAP12TypeMappingImpl is now called
+ DefaultSOAPEncodingTypeMappingImpl</li>
+ <li>Added CORBA and RMI providers</li>
+ <li>Improved EJBProvider's ability to be a "good EJB citizen"</li>
+ <li>Improved multiref deserialization code</li>
+ <li>Improved fault handling and serialization / deserialization</li>
+ <li>Various bugfixes</li>
+</ul>
<p>However, this is far from the end of the road for Axis: there is more documentation
to be written, and major functional enhancements and architectural improvements
are being considered.</p>
