Focus
The Amalgam project provides :
- the Eclipse Modeling Package
- integration code and tools for the Modeling Projects 
1.1.0 Release Talking Points
Features
Modeling Discovery User Interface has been developed and integrated in the Eclipse Modeling Package to ease integration 
of the numerous modeling components while keeping a stable and consistent platform.
The package has been slimed down from more than 400Mb to 250Mb and is now more consistent.
Non-Code Aspects
The discovery UI is integrated in the modeling package through a welcome page contribution and an action near the classical Install New Software ... action. 
APIs
The project lead certifies that the requirements for Eclipse Quality APIs have been met for this release
Metamodel definitions and corresponding implementations are considered APIs.
Non-API classes are separated from the exposed API through an internal package in the namespace.
Architecture
The discovery UI is leveraging a model describing its contribution and hosted on the Eclipse.org server. This model might be updated after the release to provide new installable components for the package. 
Tool Usability
Amalgam address the need of a common integrated platform for Eclipse Modeling. This platform is completely focused on the EMF runtime and technologies.  The discovery UI integrated in the package address the need to find its way through the so diverse modeling project and to install the needed technologies. 
End Of Life 
The Modeling Examples developed for the Eclipse Modeling Project: A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) Toolkit (ISBN-13: 978-0321534071) book have not been maintained since the Ganymede release and have not been updated for Helios yet.
