Apache River
v2.1.2 Release Notes


Apache River is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

Apache River is aimed at the development and advancement of the River technology core infrastructure. River technology is a service oriented architecture that defines a programming model which both exploits and extends Java technology to enable the construction of secure, distributed systems which are adaptive to change.


Notes of Interest for this Release

This second release from the Apache River project is based on the contributions of Sun's Jini Technology Starter Kit (Starter Kit) v2.1 and Service UI from Artima. The release focuses on merging the two contributions together, structuring separate src and bin releases, and amending the source and documentation naming/versioning/etc to the Apache River project.
