+
+1. What is Apache Ivy?
+
+Apache Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and
reporting)
+project dependencies.
+It is characterized by the following:
+
+ 1. flexibility and configurability
+ Apache Ivy is essentially process agnostic and is not tied to any
+ methodology or structure.
+ Instead it provides the necessary flexibility and configurability
+ to be adapted to a broad range of dependency management and build
+ processes.
+ 2. tight integration with Apache Ant
+ while available as a standalone tool, Apache Ivy works particularly
well
+ with Apache Ant providing a number of powerful Ant tasks ranging
+ from dependency resolution to dependency reporting and publication.
+
+2. Status of this release
+
+This is the first release candidate of Ivy targetting 2.3.0.
+
+As a release candidate version, we strongly encourage the use of this version
for
+testing and validation. From now on, features are frozen until final 2.3.0
version,
+only bug fixes may be applied before 2.3.0. If no outstanding bugs are
reported
+with this release candidate, it will promoted to 2.3.0 about three weeks after
this
+release candidate.
+
+3. How to Get Involved
+
+The Apache Ivy project really needs and appreciates any contributions,
+including documentation help, source code and feedback. If you are interested
+in contributing, please visit http://ant.apache.org/ivy/get-involved.html.
+
+4. How to Report Issues
+
+The Apache Ivy project uses JIRA for issue tracking. Please report any
+issues you find at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY
