[Steve B. <st...@te...>]

Release Notes - QuickFIX/J - Version 1.1.0

This is a significant release with many new features and bug fixes
(note: most of the bug fixes have already been merged into 1.0.5).
Some of the significant new functionality includes embedded SSL 
support, ability to configure custom MINA I/O filters, ability
to use multiple acceptor socket ports, and a suite of JMX MBeans
that allow standards-based management of QFJ sessions and
connectors.

Thanks go to Toli Kuznets, Brad Harvey, Joerg Thoennes,
and Christopher Hurst their support in developing or reviewing
code and documentation on this release. I also appreciate
everyone else who reported bugs and suggested new features
and improvements. Community support is very important for a
project list this.

Special thanks goes to Smart Trade Technologies who continue
to support the project with their technical expertise and
with servers for the QuickFIX/J web site and support tools.
