Highlights include:

* Terracotta clustering (contributed by Unicon KNL-75)
* Upgrades to numerous libraries such as javax.mail & commons-lang
(KNL-105)
* Support for authenticated and SSL on SMPT connection (contributed by
Adrian Fish KNL-253)
* Support for files greater than 2G in content hosting (KNL-205)
   
NOTE ON BINARY COMPATIBILITY:
As KNL-205 changed the method signature of
ContentResource.getContentLength() from int to long in order to support
files > 2G in size, code compiledagainst the 1.0.x kernels that make
calls to this method will not be compatible with a system running a 1.1
kernel and vice versa.
