+Release notes for blob-2.0.5-pre2
+=================================
+
+This is blob-2.0.5-pre2, a development snapshot. This is a work in
+progress, so expect it to break on some parts. Don't complain that we
+didn't warn you!
+
+We admit, we made a mess of it. There's lots of work going on in blob
+so we'd better release a development snapshot before we're going to
+make it an even bigger mess. The documentation is still not in sync
+with the code, but there is some new documentation in the doc/
+directory. See the ChangeLog file to see what's new.
+
+This snapshot is reported to work on:
+
+- Assabet
+- Assabet+Neponset
+- LART
+- Ipaq (only blob-chain)
+- System3
+
+It should work on:
+
+- Badge4
+- NESA
+- PLEB
+- Shannon (aka TuxScreen)
+- Vercel UD-1 (IDR)
+- Jornada 720
+
+But was never tested on:
+
+- Brutus
+- CreditLART
+
+If you meet any problems, don't hesitate to write to the LART mailing
+list (see http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/list/), or join the #blob IRC
+channel on irc.openprojects.net.
