+This Release of the Tuscany SCA Kernel is designed as a baseline for extensions development and early access to the Java programming model based on the SCA 1.0 Java Common Annotations and API Specification and the Java Component Implementation Specification. Copies of the specifications may be obtained from http://www.osoa.org. 
+  
+*** Please Note that extension SPIs are subject to change in future alpha and beta releases *** 
+
+Release Features
+----------------
+A goal of the release has been closer alignment with the SCA specifications, and in particular, the implementation of new Java annotations and APIs introduced in the 1.0 version. New features include:
+
+- Support for full composite recursion (N-levels)
+- Improved and simplified non-blocking operations
+- Support for SCA 1.0 conversational callbacks, including synchronous operations 
+- Support for many of the SCA 1.0 Annotations and APIs, including: scopes, conversational annotations, ComponentContext, callback annotations, 
+- Support for exception formatting
+- Improved exception handling
+- Reduced disk and memory footprint
+
+
+This release also includes significant architectural enhancements and refactors. Much of this work has been focused on simplification of the core architecture. In addition, changes have been introduced to support federated service networks and multi-VM wiring. It is expected that those features will be added in the next alpha release.    
+
+- Greatly simplified wiring architecture, including elimination of inbound and outbound wiring 
+- Support for sparse component trees distributed across multiple-VMs
+- Improved autowire support including changes to enable federated autowire in the next release 
+- Introduction of a ComponentManager 
+- Refactored Connector
+- Refactored Component interface and hierarchy 
+- Increased test coverage (~70%)
+- An early implementation of federated assembly changeset marshalling 
+
+
+Samples
+-------
+Two samples are included with the kernel release: a calculator application that demonstrates basic SCA assembly, wiring, and programming model principles; and a loan application sample that demonstrates more advanced features, namely conversational services and callbacks.  
+
+In bocca al lupo!
+The Tuscany Team
