Dillo web browser
===================
-dillo-2.2.1 is the last of the dillo-2.x series:
+Dillo-3.0 is the first release of the newest branch, which is
+based on the already released fltk-1.3 toolkit. This is big news
+because it clears the way for Dillo to return to those
+distributions which had excluded Dillo2 due to FLTK2 never
+being officially released.
-The 2.x series was based on FLTK-2.0, which was never released.
-As distributions have the sensible policy of not including alpha
-software, this kept dillo from being provided in their native
-packaging systems.
+The development effort shifted to the dillo-3.x branch long ago,
+and it became the active one; dillo-2.x received less and less
+attention, and dillo-2.2.1 became the last of its series.
-In response, the core team switched to the more modern FLTK-1.3
-which has already seen its first release.
+The core team will focus on implementing the CSS feature of
+floating elements. This will greatly improve dillo's web page
+rendering since many sites have adopted floats instead of tables.
-The development effort shifted to the dillo-3.x branch long ago,
-and it became the active one (dillo-2.x received less and less
-attention).
+The new dillo3 has shown excellent stability.
-The new dillo-3.0 will be available in a few weeks, after it passes
-the final stages of the release process. It has shown excellent
-stability and comes with some nice new features as well.
+The core team welcomes developers willing to join our workforce.
