for any additions/corrections.
Big thanks to JohnM for the input on logstore.

Apache River release v2.1.1 Release Notes
This first release from the Apache River project is based on the
contributions of Sun's Jini Technology Starter Kit (Starter Kit) v2.1
and Service UI from Artima. The release focuses on merging the
two contributions together, structuring separate src and bin releases,
and amending the source and documentation naming/versioning/etc
to the Apache River project.
Some points of note:
* NOTICE file and source license headers updated
* Source and documentation updated for release name ("Apache
River release") and version ("v2.1.1")
* Graphical installer (which was a 3rd party application in the
Starter Kit) is no longer available
* The combined source and binary release in the Starter Kit has
been separated into two releases: src and bin
* The "logstore" implementation of com.sun.jini.outrigger.Store has
been removed
The persistent version of Outrigger relies on a pluggable
persistence
layer, <code>com.sun.jini.outrigger.Store</code>. Previous releases
of the Starter Kit included two implementations of the Store
interface,
<em>logstore</em> and <em>snaplogstore</em>. This release removes
logstore.
Logstore has been around in various forms since the 1.0 version of
Outrigger. Snapstore was introduced in v2.1 of the Starter Kit.
The v2.0.n releases of the Starter Kit used logstore as the
default Store
implementation, this release has no default Store. In order to
switch an
existing set of configuration files, security policy files,
etc., from using
logstore to snaplogstore, you will need to change the
<code>com.sun.jini.outrigger.store</code> configuration entry
(or add a
store configuration entry if you don't already have one) to yield a
<code>com.sun.jini.outrigger.snaplogstore.LogStore</code>
object. You
will also need to ensure that <code>outrigger-snaplogstore.jar</
code> has
been granted sufficient permissions (see Outrigger's package
documentation
for a sample security policy file.).
Note that depending on the nature of your application
snaplogstore can
have a significantly different performance profile than logstore.
The storage formats used by snaplogstore and logstore are mutually
incompatible.
