Developers can now expose their services and invoke services using Axis. There is no servlet engine or wsdd required; a service can be exposed simply by associating an Axis endpoint URI!
There is now a much cleaner and more intuitive endpoint configuration syntax.
Filters can now be applied to endpoints to control inbound traffic. Filters can either be generic or specific to the underlying transport such as Jms selectors or filename filters.

Mule now supports XA transactions. Mule can share a transaction manager with Spring so that transactions can be used across Mule and Spring resources.
There have been loads of bug fixes and new tests added to Mule. Plus new and updated Tests and Documentation.
