The release consists of the three stable language bindings of Etch
- Java
- C#
- C

There are also some new components in this release.
The C++ binding is now feature complete and ready for beta tests.
If you experience any issues by building or using it, please report back on our mailing lists.

For the Go binding, there is still some work to be done, interested parties should
send inquiries to dev@etch.apache.org.

Since release 1.1.0 Etch uses name spaces which look something like 
org.apache.etch... 
If you upgrade from an older version you have to preceed the following steps
in order to continue using your old etch files:
- All bindings
  In every cases, you will need to re-etch your *.etch source files.
- Java:
  All that need be done for java is to correct the package names from etch.*
  to org.apache.etch.*. 
- C#:
  For C#, the namespace has changed from Etch.* to Org.Apache.Etch.*.
  
There are a few bugs fixed in this release, too, as detailed in the issue list below.
