+Apache Tuscany SCA 2.0.1 October 2013 Release Notes
+===================================================
+
+Apache Tuscany provides a runtime based on the Service Component
+Architecture. SCA is a set of specifications aimed at simplifying SOA
+Application Development which are being standardized at OASIS as part
+of Open Composite Services Architecture (Open CSA) - http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/.
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This Apache Tuscany SCA release includes implementations of the main SCA 
+specifications and recent updates from Open CSA drafts including:
+
+        * SCA Assembly Model V1.1 
+        * SCA Policy Framework V1.1 
+        * SCA Java Common Annotations and APIs V1.1
+        * SCA Java Component Implementation V1.1
+        * SCA Web Services Binding V1.1
+        * SCA JMS Binding V1.1
+        * SCA Spring Client and Implementation V1.1
+        * SCA WS-BPEL Client and Implementation V1.1
+        (portions of) SCA JEE Integration V1.1
+
+For those specs marked * the Tuscany runtime passes the 
+OASIS conformance tests (otests) for the specs as they stand
+at the time of release. If you want to see the tests run you
+can manually remove the comment that prevents them running 
+in the main build in the following Maven pom:
+
+        testing/compliance-tests/pom.xml
+
+The distribution also includes implementations of many features not 
+yet defined by SCA specifications, including:
+
+        - SCA bindings for RMI, REST, WebSockets, Comet, HTTP, JSON-RPC, JSONP, ATOM.
+        - Databindings for JAXB, Axis2's AXIOM, DOM, SAX and StAX
+        - Integration with various web frameworks
+
+The Tuscany SCA Runtime can be configured as a single node SCA domain.
+ 
+In addition Tuscany SCA supports the following host-deployment options: -
+        - running standalone 
+        - running in a OSGi enabled runtime Environment (Equinox)
+        - running with distributed nodes across multiple JVMs
+     
+See the CHANGES file for a detailed list of the features in this release.
