-----------------------------------
+SPRING FRAMEWORK 3.0 M1 (December 2008)
+---------------------------------------
 http://www.springframework.org
 
 1. INTRODUCTION
 ---------------
 
+This is the first milestone of Spring 3.0 which is scheduled for final release in Q2 2009.
+This release updates the entire codebase for Java 5+ and introduces EL and REST support.
+
 2. RELEASE NOTES
 ----------------
 
+This release comes without reference documentation. For the time being, please consult
+the provided javadoc for details on the new features.
+
 3. DISTRIBUTION JAR FILES
 -------------------------
 
+The Spring Framework module jar files can be found in the 'dist' directory. Note that
+this release does not contain a 'spring.jar' file anymore. Furthermore, the jar file
+names follow bundle repository conventions now.
+
 4. GETTING STARTED
 ------------------
 
-5. OBTAINING RELEASE JARS USING MAVEN OR IVY
---------------------------------------------
-
-6. ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
------------------------
+Check out the provided PetClinic sample application. It has been partially updated
+for Spring 3.0 already.
