Subject: FAE 1.0 release to replace old version
To: <EMAIL REMOVED>

The old version of the Functional Accessibility Evaluator (FAE) is being
replaced by a new version. If you plan to continue using FAE, please
read on. If not, rest assured that you will not receive any additional
emails regarding FAE.

FAE 1.0 is finally here. The new version has 40+ rules that now support
the Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act (IITAA)
(http://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=32765), which went into
effect last year. FAE 1.0 also has a new scheme for managing and
archiving the reports you create.

The URL for FAE, http://fae.cita.uiuc.edu/, will begin resolving to the
new 1.0 version no later than Monday, March 9th (the DNS switchover will
occur Friday evening). Once the new version is available, you will need
to register for a new user account, as old accounts will not be carried
over to FAE 1.0.

The old version of FAE, reachable at http://faeold.cita.uiuc.edu/, and
reports currently stored there, will remain available for approximately
two weeks after the new version is released. On March 23rd, reports and
accounts there will be deleted.
