 Banshee 2.1.0 - NOT YET RELEASED
 ===============================================================================
 
-    Banshee 2.0 is the culmination of six months' work by 36 developers and
-    dozens of translators, bug reporters, and testers.  It is a stable release,
-    the successor to Banshee 1.8.
+    Banshee 2.1.0 is the first release in the 2.1 development series leading up
+    to 2.2.  It brings a significant change in dependency policy.  We will be
+    dropping legacy dependencies, and bump other deps to recent versions.  To
+    support users on older distros, we'll publish an Linux bundle.
 
     New Features:
 
-      * Artist/Album Browser Track Actions
+      * eMusic Store
 
-            Track actions (play, queue, remove, delete, edit, properties)
-            now work for the artist and album browser too!  Right click an
-            artist or album to act on it, or click an album and press 'q' to
-            queue it.
-
-      * 'Play After' Queue Options
-
-            Want to listen to a track, album, or artist right after the playing
-            track, album, or artist?  The 'Play After' option will insert it
-            into the queue to make it happen.
-
-      * User Interface Improvements
-
-            We have made several changes toward a cleaner and more usable UI.
-            We got rid of the active source's title bar.  Search is now beside
-            the volume button.  The source list has smaller icons, hidden
-            counts for the libraries, and named group-separators.  The seek
-            slider and search entry are resizable via their grips.
-
-            Podcasts episodes are now shown in a grid, with several lines of
-            description shown to help you find an appealing episode to enjoy.
-
-      * Ubuntu One Music Store and SoundMenu Extensions
+    Enhancements:
 
-            These two extensions have been moved from Banshee Community
-            Extensions and are now core Banshee extensions.
+      * 
 
-      * Subtitles
