-        This release adds support for ...
+        This release fixes some minor build issues,
+        and contains a first small set of test programs
+        to check the package builds.
+        </p>
+
+        <p>
+        The build rules are simplified
+        by calling generators like Autotools and Flex,
+        instead of patching the generated files.
         </p>
 
         <p>
         Almost all packages are updated to their latest version.
         </p>
+
+        <p>
+        Many new packages are supported:
+        aubio, devil, directx, exiv2, fftw, gsoap, id3lib,
+        liblo, libpano13, libsamplerate, openscenegraph
+        and portaudio.
