+### fUML Reference Implementation
+### v1.1.0a Release Notes
+
+This is a production maintenance release of the fUML Reference Implementation.
+
+### fUML Execution Engine
+
+The current base release for the fUML Execution Engine is v1.1.0, conforming to v1.1 of the fUML Specification. The v1.1.0a maintenance release includes implementation of resolutions to the following OMG issues, currently under consideration by the fUML 1.2 Revision Task Force. However, the task force has not yet voted to adopt these resolutions, so they are subject to change in future releases of the Reference Implementation.
