-I'm pleased to announce the latest feature-packed release of Roundup. See

+I'm pleased to announce this maintenance release of Roundup. This
+release introduces python 2.3 compatibility. My thanks to Paul Dubois
+for contributing the csv module compatibility layer.
 
 If you're upgrading from an older version of Roundup you *must* follow
 the "Software Upgrade" guidelines given in the maintenance documentation. 
 
-Unfortunately, the Zope frontend for Roundup is currently broken. I hope to
-revive it in a future 0.6 bugfix release.

-The gadfly backend has now been removed, having served its purpose as a
-template for other RDBMS implementations. It is replaced by the sqlite and 
-mysql backends.
