Yes the subject says it all. The main reason for putting out a 1.4.1 release a was security vulnerability present in Apache Axis2 1.4 policy processing. The 1.4.1 release fixes this security issue plus a few critical issues that were present in the 1.4 release.
Nandana who primarily works on Axis2 and Rampart noticed this security vulnerability and sent a note to the Axis2 list who decided to push for a 1.4.1. Of course Nandana volunteered to be the release Manager ;).
This exemplifies the beauty of Open Source. After all the Open Source mantra is "Release early, release often".
