-Release Notes - SABnzbd 3.0.0 Alpha 2
+Release Notes - SABnzbd 3.0.0 Beta 1
 =========================================================
 
 ## About this new version
 We have been working for months to upgrade the SABnzbd code from Python 2 to Python 3.
 Although it might not sound like a big change, we had to rewrite almost every part of
 the code. This also means that we might have introduced new bugs. We therefore encourage
-you to let us know of any errors or strange behavior your might notice!
-Unfortunately, this also means that we could not spend much time adding new features.
-But we still managed to add a few, like extracting fully obfuscated RAR-sets.
