+	As you already know, we are planning to release MPlayer 1.0pre1. This
+	won't be a <i>normal release</i>, at least it won't be similar to the 
+	older ones. It's special because it's intended to help the <b>bug 
+	hunting</b> and provide a technology preview, to show what we can do
+	now.<br><br>
+	Now all of you probably ask what we can do?<br>
+	<ul>
+	<li>Playback of all the widespread codecs with <i>libavcodec</i>,
+	that means, that no binary codecs are needed! (the new codecs are
+	<b>H264</b>, Indeo3, <b>Sorenson3</b>, VP3, 3ivx, FFv1, ASV1, VCR1/VCR2)</li>
+	<li>Only playback of newer Real files (and some QuickTime audio codecs)
+	requires binary codecs</li>
+	<li>More <b>stability</b> than ever</li>
+	<li>Cleaner source base (although G2 will be much cleaner)</li>
+	<!-- <li>Gabucino can dream about having sex with teenies</li> -->
+	<li>Support for MPEG-TS (Transport Stream), <b>DVB</b> and TIVO</li>
+	<li>Support for <b>DivX.com 5.0.5</b> libs</li>
+	<li>Unique support for tomorrow's technologies: <b>Theora</b> and <b>Matroska</b>!</li>
+	<li>Almost complete <b>native Windows</b> (<i>MinGW</i>) <b>port</b>,
+	help and testing is appreciated</li>
+	</ul>
+	(You can view the current ChangeLog in CVS <a href="http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/main/ChangeLog?rev=1.52&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup">
+	here</a>)<br><br>
+	And what about that <b>bug hunting</b> you mentioned?<br><br>
+	We plan to switch on all the problematic parts of the source, so we
+	can find most of the bugs which were hidden so far. For example
+	the command line / config parsing routines have some features switched
+	off because they weren't tested yet.<br><br>
+	Ohh, before I forget, have I mentioned that we are planning to organize
+	a <b>bug hunting party</b>?<br><br>
+	We await lots of coders, you can join the thread on the mailing list,
+	<a href="http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2003-August/020095.html">
+	it starts here</a>.<br>
+	And I want to ask all of you, dear users, to 
+	send <b>real</b> bug reports to the -users list (after reading the docs
+	and the bug reports section, which you can find
+	<a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/bugreports.html">here</a>) with
+	<i>[BUG]</i> in the subject line, if you want to get your bug really
+	fixed!<br>This goes to all the bugs reported in the last weeks, which
+	haven't been fixed yet.<br><br>
+	And now, I can't say anything else, long live MPlayer!<br>
