+I am pleased to announce the availability of gFTP 2.0.18rc1. Here is a
+summarized list of changes since version 2.0.17. For a full list of changes,
+please see the ChangeLog file that is included with the source distribution.
 
-* Separated out more of the UI independent code in the GTK+ and Text ports and
-  created a user interface common repository. Cleaned up some of the existing
-  GTK+ code. The GTK+ port can now be controlled from a command line interface
-  in the GUI. There is an option you have to enable in the options dialog for
-  this. (enable manual commands in GUI)
-* Added support for the FTPS protocol. The control connection is the only
-  one encrypted at the moment.
-* When viewing/editing a file, the temporary file that is created is created
-  with the same extension as the remote file so that syntax highlighting works
-* File transfers can be resumed/skipped/overwritten in the text port and
-  whenever files are dropped on gftp in the GTK+ port.
-* FTP: Added support for MVS directory listings
-* FTP: Fix for FXP transfers
-* SSH2: fix for resuming uploads
-* Added option to show the transfer status in the title bar.
-* Added option to disable IPV6 support.
-* Fixed the wrong date being displayed when a file was modified last year
-* 64 bit cleanups. This also fixed a SSH segfault that was happening on
-  FreeBSD
-* Look for the .gmo translation files in the proper directory
-* If a bookmark-ed site has it's password saved in the config file, then the
-  passwords are written out in a scrambled format. This isn't secure, but
-it'll
-  prevent someone from casually looking over your shoulder and seeing your
-  password. I still do not recommend saving your passwords to disk.
-* Fix for systems that do not support the %'ld format argument
-* The startup directory option is now expanded so that an option like
-  ~/src can be specified
-* New language translations and updates (ca cs de ga hr hu nl pt_BR sr sr@Latn
-  ta th)
+* SSH2: Improved the login code. You no longer need to specify in gFTP the
+  path to the sftp-server binary on the remote server. It will now just work
+  out of the box for most sites. Also, if the SSH binary is asking a
+  question, this question will be relayed back through the gFTP user interface
+  so the user can answer it appropriately.
+* SSH2: Added support for RSA SecurID passwords
+* FTP, SSH2: Added support for preserving the file date/time
+* FTP: Fixed IPv6 connection problem
+* More 64 bit cleanups
+* More largefile fixes
+* Fixed detection of SIGCHLD signal when viewing/editing files
+* Added remote_lc_time option. The value of LC_TIME can now be overridden on
+  a per site basis. This will fix problems parsing the dates in the remote
+  directory listings
+* Some more GNOME HIG fixes
+* Fixed several segfaults in the bookmarks editor
+* Save the state of the host, user and port fields in the toolbar
+* Fixed compiler errors on OpenBSD and HPUX
 * Many other small changes and improvements. See the ChangeLog file in the
   distribution for a detailed list of changes.
+* New language translations and updates (bg cs en_CA en_GB es fi he hu ja nl pa
+                                         pt_BR ru sq)
