+RELEASE NOTES
+=============
+this version of Koha is the last one of the 2.0.0 series in the "unstable" tree.
+5 libraries are using it, so it's quite useable.
+2 last problems have to be solved before 2.0.0RC1 :
+* biblio deletion : at the moment, biblio deletion is buggy (does not work in MARC, delete only non-marc data)
+* upgrader is provided for the 1st time, so it's probably buggy.
+
+If you want to use Koha, you're welcomed, but you're warned that this version still has some bugs and missing features.
+

+
+NOTE: You will need to add lines to your main httpd.conf to include
+/etc/koha-httpd.conf and to make sure it is listening on the right ports
