 **New Features**
 
-One or two sentences explaining the purpose of this Release.
+DCAE is the data collection and analytics sub-system of ONAP.  Under ONAP Release 1 the DCAE
+sub-system includes both platform components and DCAE service components.  Collectively the ONAP R1
+DCAE components support the data collection and analytics functions for the R1 use cases, i.e. vFW,
+vDNS, vCPU, and vVoLTE.
+
+Specifically, DCAE R1 includes the following components:
+
+- Core platform
+    - Cloudify manager
+    - Consul cluster
+- Extended platform
+    - Platform component docker host
+    - Service component docker host
+    - CDAP cluster
+    - PostgreSQL database (*)
+- Platform docker container components
+    - Configuration binding service
+    - Deployment handler
+    - Service change handler
+    - Inventory
+    - Policy handler
+    - CDAP broker
+- Service components                            
+    - Docker container components
+        - VNF Event Streaming (VES) collector
+        - Holmes engine (**)
+        - Holmes rule management (**)
+    - CDAP analytics component
+
+(*) Note: This component is delivered under the CCSDK project, deployed by DCAE under a single 
+VM configuration as a shared PostgreSQL database for the R1 demos.  (CCSDK PostgreSQL supports 
+other deployment configurations not used in the R1 demos.)
+(**) Note: This component is delivered under the Holmes project and used as a DCAE analytics component 
+in R1.
+
+Source codes of DCAE are released under the following repositories on gerrit.onap.org:

 **Bug Fixes**
-	- `CIMAN-65 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/CIMAN-65>`_ and a sentence explaining what this defect is addressing.
+
+This is the initial release.
+
+
 **Known Issues**
-	- `CIMAN-65 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/CIMAN-65>`_ and two, three sentences.
-	  One sentences explaining what is the issue.
-	  
-	  Another sentence explaining the impact of the issue.
-	  
-	  And an optional sentence providing a workaround.
+
+- Need to test/integrate into an OpenStack environment other than Intel/Windriver Pod25.
+- Need to provide a dev configuration DCAE.
+
 
 **Security Issues**
-	You may want to include a reference to CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) `CVE <https://cve.mitre.org>`_
 
+- The DCAE Bootstrap container needs to have a secret key for accessing VMs that it launches.
+This key is currently passed in as a Heat template parameter.  Tracked by JIRA DCAEGEN2-178.
+- The RESTful API calls are generally not secure.  That is, they are either over http, or https
+without certificate verification.  Once there is an ONAP wide solution for handling certificates,
+DCAE will switch to https.
 
 **Upgrade Notes**
 
+This is the initial release.
+
+
 **Deprecation Notes**
 
+There is a GEN1 DCAE sub-system implementation existing in the pre-R1 ONAP Gerrit system.  The GEN1
+DCAE is deprecated by the R1 release.  The DCAE included in ONAP R1 is also known as DCAE GEN2.  The
+following Gerrit repos are voided and already locked as read-only.
