+Apache Tuscany SCA 0.99 (incubating) August 2007 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).
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+        This 0.99 release of Apache Tuscany SCA is expected to be
+        the last point release before 1.0 final release. It further
+        builds on the stability and modularity established with the
+        previous releases including more complete implementation of SCA
+        specifications, support for distributed SCA domains, SCA policy,
+        OSGi implementation types, and pub/sub support with notification
+        components. Start up time and memory footprint of the runtime has
+        been reduced and there has been numerous bug fixes.
+
+See the CHANGES file for a detailed list of the features in this release.
