+Apache Tuscany SCA 2.0-M4 November 2009 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
+--------
+
+     The Apache Tuscany SCA 2.0-M4 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 Client & Implementation: Spring
+        SCA Web Services Binding V1.1
+        SCA WS-BPEL Client and Implementation V1.1
+        (portions of) SCA JEE Integration V1.1
+
+    It also includes implementations of many features not yet defined
+    by SCA specifications, including:
+
+        - SCA bindings for RMI.
+        - 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 or 
+    as an SCA domain distributed across multiple nodes. 
+    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.
