-It is with a huge sigh of relief that I announce this first beta of
-Roundup version 0.7.
+I'm proud to release version 1.4.10 of Roundup which fixes some bugs:
+
+- Minor update of doc/developers.txt to point to the new resources
+  on www.roundup-tracker.org (Bernhard Reiter)
+- Small CSS improvements regaring the search box (thanks Thomas Arendsan Hein)
+  (issue 2550589)
+- Indexers behaviour made more consistent regarding length of indexed words
+  and stopwords (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein, Bernhard Reiter)(issue 2550584)
+- fixed typos in the installation instructions (thanks Thomas Arendsen Hein)
+  (issue 2550573) 
+- New config option csv_field_size: Pythons csv module (which is used
+  for export/import) has a new field size limit starting with python2.5.
+  We now issue a warning during export if the limit is too small and use
+  the csv_field_size configuration during import to set the limit for
+  the csv module.
+- Small fix for CGI-handling of XMLRPC requests for python2.4, this
+  worked only for 2.5 and beyond due to a change in the xmlrpc interface
+  in python
+- Document filter method of xmlrpc interface
+- Fix interaction of SSL and XMLRPC, now XMLRPC works with SSL
 
 If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
 the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation.
 
-No, really, this is a BETA and if you don't follow the upgrading steps,
-particularly the bit about BACKING UP YOUR DATA, I'm NOT GOING TO BE HELD
-RESPONSIBLE. This release is NOT FOR GENERAL USE.
-
-I would *greatly* appreciate people giving this release a whirl with a
-copy of their existing setup. It's only through real-world testing of
-beta releases that we can ensure that older trackers will be OK.
-
-This release introduces far too many features to list here. Some
-highlights:
-
-- added postgresql backend (originally from sf patch 761740, many changes
-  since)
-- RDBMS backends implement their session and one-time-key stores and
-  full-text indexers; thus they are now performing their own locking
-  internally
-- added new "actor" automatic property (indicates user who cause the last
-  "activity")
-- all RDBMS backends have sensible data typed columns and indexes on
-  several columns
-- we support confirming registration by replying to the email (sf bug
-  763668)
-- all HTML templating methods now automatically check for permissions
-  (either view or edit as appropriate), greatly simplifying templates
-
-Roundup requires python 2.1.3 or later for correct operation.
