+--------------
+
+:Release Date: 2017-11-16
+
+
+**New Features**
+
+The SO provides the highest level of service orchestration in the ONAP architecture.
+It executes end-to-end service activities by processing workflows and business logic and coordinating other ONAP and external component activities. 
+
+The orchestration engine is a reusable service. Any component of the architecture can execute SO orchestration capabilities. 
+
+* Orchestration services will process workflows based on defined models and recipe. 
+* The service model maintains consistency and re-usability across all orchestration activities and ensures consistent methods, structure and version of the workflow execution environment.
+* Orchestration processes interact with other platform components or external systems via standard and well-defined APIs.
+
+
+**Deprecation Notes**
+
+There is a MSO 1.0.0 SO implementation existing in the pre-R1 ONAP Gerrit system.  
+The MSO1.0.0 is deprecated by the R1 release and the current release is built over this release.
+The Gerrit repos of mso/* are voided and already locked as read-only.
+Following are the deprecated SO projects in gerrit repo:
+
+- mso
+- mso/chef-repo
+- mso/docker-config
