+Five 0.3 released!
+==================
+
+The Five team is happy to release Five 0.3. Five is a Zope 2 product
+that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2,
+today. 
+
+The most important feature of this release is undoubtedly the ability
+to use Zope 3 style add and edit forms. This is thanks to hard work by
+Lennart Regebro from Nuxeo_. In addition, Lennart contributed the
+ability to use Zope 3 menus with Five. We've also worked on an
+improved compatibility with Zope 2 page templates, so it is more easy
+to reuse Zope 2-level macros with Five now. Dieter Maurer contributed
+essential code to accomplish this. Consult the CHANGES_ for more details.
+
+.. _CHANGES: http://codespeak.net/z3/five/CHANGES.html
+
+Five right now allows you to use the following Zope 3 technologies in
+Zope 2:
+
+* Zope 3 interfaces
+
+* adapters
+
+* pages (views), including skins, layers and resources
+
+* edit and add forms, based on schemas
+
+* ZCML
+
+We've tried to keep the Five experience as close to Zope 3 as
+possible, so this means that what you learn while using Five should
+also be applicable to Zope 3.
+
+Five 0.3, even though it has an early version number, is being used in
+production-grade projects, among others at Nuxeo_ and Infrae_.
+
+.. _Nuxeo: http://www.nuxeo.com
+
+.. _Infrae: http://www.infrae.com
+
+Infrae and Nuxeo have recently announced to cooperate_ on the
+development of Zope 3 technologies, and this should bring further good
+news for Five in the future!
