            Commons Daemon Package
               Version 1.0.5
                Release Notes


INTRODUCTION:

Commons Daemon is a set of utilities and Java support classes for running
Java applications as server processes.
Commonly known as 'daemon' processes in Unix terminology (hence the name),
on Windows they are called 'services'.

This document contains the release notes for this version of the Commons
Daemon package, and highlights changes since the previous version.  The
current release adds new features and bug fixes, and is being done now to
follow the release early/release often mentality.
