 Changes in 2.0b1 since 1.5.2
 ----------------------------
 
+These release notes refer to Mac-specific changes only. See NEWS (in the Misc folder)
+for machine-independent changes.
+
 Unfortunately I have messed my administration up, so I can't give complete
 Mac-specific release notes for the changes in this release. So, I will
 have to leave it at the highlights:
 
 - 68K support has been dropped, this release is PPC only.
 - Threads support (through standard Python threads module).
+- Tkinter works again! At least: it doesn't immedeately crash in obvious ways.
 - Appearance support through App module and added calls in many other modules.
+  Most dialogs and applets have also been converted to Appearance. There's also a
+  ControlAccessor module that handles [GS]etControlData with their plethora of
+  argument types.
 - Navigation Services support, with macfs StandardFile calls transparently
   replaced by their NavServices counterparts.
-- Offscreen QuickDraw support through Qdoffs module.
+- Offscreen QuickDraw and GWorld support through Qdoffs module.
 - Drag manager support (Drag module).
-- Much better CGI support, see :Mac:Tools:CGI.
+- Much better CGI support and examples, see :Mac:Tools:CGI.
 - Better OSA/AppleEvent support.
+- Up/downcasting of handle-based types is now unified and implemented in the
+  inherting module, e.g.
+  handleobj = ctlobj.as_Resource()
+  ctlobj = Ctl.as_Control(handle)
+- Added macos.FreeMem(), MaxBlock() and CompactMem(), mainly so apps in Python can
+  give low-memory warnings.
+- MediaDescr module parses some QuickTime media descriptions (but definitely not all).
+
+What is not in this distribution
+--------------------------------
+
+- The garbage collection mods to 2.0 have not been enabled, mainly due to lack of test-time.
+- Stackless Python/microthreads are not in here. Ask on the pythonmac-SIG if you want them.
+- Carbon support is not in here, but should be happening as soon as GUSI is ready.
+- Distutils is not in here, again due to lack of time.
+
+Known problems
+--------------
+
+This list is far from complete, more problems may be listed on the MacPython homepage,
+http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html.
+
+- The IDE and Tkinter do not work together. Run tkinter programs under PythonInterpreter.
+- Aliases do not work in sys.path entries.
