                         Commons Email Package
                              Version 1.0
                             Release Notes

INTRODUCTION:

Commons-Email aims to provide a API for sending email. It builds on the JavaMail 
API with the aim of presenting a simplified API which is easy for developers who
are not mail experts to use. It is a compact component with a small number of
classes.

This is the first release of Commons Email. However, the codebase is mature and
stable and so this is no reason not to recommend it for production.


REQUIREMENTS:

J2SE environments
-----------------

Commons-Email requires at least javamail version 1.2 and should run
with all versions above. Get it http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/

Commons-Email also requires the Java activation framework. Get it from
http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html

Commons-Email has been tested with JDK 1.3.1_16, JDK 1.4.2_09 and JDK 1.5.0_04.

J2EE environments
-----------------

Commons-Email should be compatible with J2EE 1.3 and 1.4 compliant
environments and run without additional requirements.
