+UPGRADING FROM EARLIER RELEASES
+-------------------------------
+
+Release with the same major number (1.x) are intended to be drop-in
+replacements. However, in most cases the versions of dependency jars
+must be adjusted because newer versions of Velocity might require
+updates.
+
+Upgrading from Velocity 1.4 or earlier
+
+ * JDOM has been upgraded to version 1.0.
+ * Commons Collections has been upgraded to version 3.1.
+ * Commons Lang 2.1 has been added.
+
+ Optional:
+
+ * Apache Ant 1.6 or better is required for rebuilding.
+ * Java CC 3.2 is recommended to compile the parser files.
+ * HSQLDB 1.7.1 is required for running unit tests.
