That is a great download page, best yet for geoserver. I particularly like the obvious availability of additional datastores, and the documentation links before the application downloads (even if people don't click on them, they know docs are available).
One thing though, your release note links are to a table:
-<http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10311&fixfor=12106>
Did you mean to show the html release notes instead:
-<http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?version=12106&styleName=Html&projectId=10311&Create=Create>
Or does that provide too little details....
You may find the printable view of that table more endearing:
-<http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?view=&tempMax=1000&decorator=printable&start=0&mode=hide>
Congrats, we are writing up our uDig 1.1 tutorials based on this release.
