+Five 1.0 released!
+==================
+
+The Five team is happy to release Five 1.0. Five is a Zope 2 product
+that allows you to integrate Zope 3 technologies into Zope 2, today.
+
+There are no big feature additions compared to Five 0.3, but does
+include significant bugfixes, along with some minor tweaks. We went
+directly to 1.0 as we feel that Five is production-ready
+software. 
+
+Five 1.0 works with Zope 2.7. The big news is that we also plan to
+include Five 1.0 in Zope 2.8, so that you can use Zope 3 technology in
+Zope 2.8 out of the box. Much work to enable this was done at the
+Paris Zope 3/Five sprint organized by Nuxeo. This release therefore
+also contains the changes made to integrate Five into Zope 2.8 done at
+the Paris Zope 3/Five sprint, but works with Zope 2.7.
+
+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 1.0 is being used in production-grade projects, among others at
+Nuxeo_ and Infrae_.
