There was another Geronimo 2.1 Enhancement -> Plan Creator. I am very
sorry for not having reported this prior to G 2.1 release. May be its
too late to include.
Plan Creator
- Plan Creator is a new portlet added to admin console to simplify the
creation of Geronimo specific deployment plans. Given a web application
archive (war), Plan Creator walks the user through a sequence of steps
and generates geronimo-web.xml automatically.
I added it.
Thanks,
Joe

This is the current Release Notes for 2.1.2 with JIRAs as they are

Are there any additional changes we need to make?

latest documentation on this release.
System Requirements
-------------------
You need a platform that supports the Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5.0+) or
greater.
Most testing has been done on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.
Geronimo 2.1 Enhancements
-------------------------
Custom server assemblies
- Lightweight server assemblies may be created that contain only the
functional
components required by your application(s).
Flexible admin console
- The admin console is now component-based to mirror the server
capabilities.
This allows the admin console to provide flexible administrative
capabilities
that will mirrors the capabilities of a custom server assembly.
GShell
- GShell is a command-line processing environment that can be used
for the execution
of Geronimo commands. GShell is an extensible environment and
includes support
for editing, command history, and tab completion.
Clustering Support
- WADI can now be used to support clustering of web applications for
Geronimo configurations which
use the Tomcat Web Container (WADI support for Jetty was in
previous releases).
- Applications can be deployed to administratively-defined groups of
Geronimo servers
Monitoring Console Plugin
- The monitoring console plugin provides monitoring support in the
Geronimo admin console.
The monitoring console can gather statistics and performance data
from multiple Geronimo
servers and graphically display this data to users.

Certification Status
--------------------
Apache Geronimo v2.1.2 has passed 100% of SUN's Java Enterprise
Edition 5.0
Certification Test Suite. See "Distributions" for further details.
Distributions
-------------
Apache Geronimo v2.1.2 is available in five distributions so you can
pick the
one that best fits your environment.
The available distributions are as follows:
Certified distributions:
- Apache Geronimo with Tomcat web container, AXIS2 for Web Services
and OpenJPA
for persistence.
- Apache Geronimo with Jetty web container, CXF for Web Services and
OpenJPA
for persistence.
Non-Certified distributions:
- Little-G with Tomcat web container, minimal configuration.
- Little-G with Jetty web container, minimal configuration.
- Geronimo framework, stripped down Geronimo pluggable framework.
Note: Non-Certified distributions do not contain a complete JavaEE5
stack and so
cannot be certified. Certified distributions can be reconfigured by
the user
(such as Tomcat web container with CXF for Web Services).
