+released June 29, 2007 (see [1]).
 
 Since then we've made several improvements, including:
 
- * Add encrypted, mutable directories, so that you can organize your
-   files into directories, change the contents of directories, and
-   share your directories with your friends, without thereby sharing
-   your directories with anyone else -- not even with the owners of
-   the servers that host your directories.
+ * a RESTful API for programmatically controlling your tahoe node with
+   the programming language of your choice:
 
- * make it so that web browsers can connect to the Tahoe node securely
-   with https (ticket #55)
+   http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/browser/docs/webapi.txt
 
+ * a command-line interface for uploading and downloading files in the
+   old Unix style (ticket #53)
+
+ * significantly reduced the memory used when uploading files (ticket #29)
+
+ * significantly reduced the bandwidth and disk space used when uploading many small files (tickets #80, 81, #85)
+
+ * added configurable erasure-coding parameters: how many total shares
+   to produce, and how many shares are required to reconstruct the
+   file (ticket #84)
+
+ * many bugs fixed or enhancements implemented; for a list of all
+   tickets closed since the v0.4 release, see [2].
+
+ * added configurable limits on how much disk space your node will
+   allocate for storing data on behalf of other peers (ticket #34)
