ZeroC, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of the Internet
Communications Engine (Ice), version 3.0.0. For a detailed description
of Ice, please have a look at http://www.zeroc.com/ice.html.

The most significant change since version 2.1.2 is the addition of
IceGrid, a replacement for the IcePack activation service that
revolutionizes the way you build and deploy your Ice applications. With
support for replication, load balancing, and application distribution,
IceGrid provides the tools you need to create scalable grid applications
and manage them remotely. For more information on IceGrid, please see
http://www.zeroc.com/icegrid/index.html.

As you have come to expect, this release also includes a great deal of
smaller enhancements and fixes that improve the reliability of your
programs and help you get them to market faster.

In addition to traditional proprietary licensing models for commercial
customers, Ice is also freely available as Open Source under the terms
of the GNU General Public License (GPL). You can download the complete
Ice source and documentation from http://www.zeroc.com/download.html.
