+'''Roundup is a simple-to-use and -install issue-tracking system with
+command-line, web and e-mail interfaces. It is based on the winning design
+from Ka-Ping Yee in the Software Carpentry "Track" design competition.
+
+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
