Hi,

Please find below a second try. Any suggestions/additions/corrections?
I need still input on how to extend the description of the features.
And again, are those new features described in the user manual?

Regards,
Thomas

ArgoUML 0.26 enters alpha period
================================

The next stable version of ArgoUML is about to come! With the availability of
the first alpha release we're having a feature freeze. There are still some
issues to solve, and any help in finding more issues is welcome! With your
help there will soon be a quality final 0.26 release.

Prior to the release of ArgoUML 0.26 there was set up a new user related site
with a forum and a wiki. This will be promoted by the release 0.26 (see new
F1 help feature below). Just have a look: http://www.argouml-users.net/

And here are the news about our next stable release compared to the previous
0.24 release:
