JBoss AS 6.0.0.M1 is the first milestone release of the community driven AS 6 series. It includes support for certain key technologies that are part of the EE6 specification. Additional capabilities will be added in future milestones.

The new EE standards supported in this release are:

JSF 2 - Includes major improvements over JSF1 such as AJAX support and integration with Bean Validation.
Bean Validation (JSR-303) - Provides centralized validation of model objects accross all tiers (presentation, data, etc).
CDI [Weld RI] (JSR-299) - Offers an innovative and feature rich context management and dependency injection framework for EE applications.

Other major additions include:

Mod_cluster - An intelligent load balancing solution that integrates with Apache Web Server, and uses appserver heuristics to efficiently balance requests across a JBoss AS cluster.
JBoss Embedded AS - A prototype for a new API that launches, configures and deploys against an in-VM JBoss AS instance.
Many bug fixes and small enhancements listed in the full notes below.
