+<h2>Announcement</h2>
+<pre>
+July 20 2007 - The Ivy incubator project is please to announce its
+2.0.0 alpha 2 release, a new step on the road toward 2.0 final.
+
+Ivy is a tool for managing (recording, tracking, resolving and
+reporting) project dependencies, characterized by flexibility,
+configurability, and tight integration with Apache Ant.
+
+This second release of Ivy in the Apache incubator is still an alpha
+version, and as such we do not guarantee any stability, especially 
+of the API, until the final 2.0.0 version ships.  In practise, the 
+ant tasks and core functionality do appear to be working, to the extent 
+that the new version can be switched in over the 1.4.1 release.
+
+Key features of the 2.0.0-alpha-2 release are
+ * enhanced support for reading, Maven2 POM files
+ * cleaner code for easier developer participation
+ * Minor bug fixes as documented in Jira.
+
+We encourage all users of Ivy to try this new version, so that any 
+remaining compatibility issues can be reported and resolved before 
+the product is released. 
+
+Issues should be reported to:
+https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IVY
+
+Download the 2.0.0 alpha 2 release files at:
+http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/download.html
+
+More information can be found on the Ivy website:
+http://incubator.apache.org/ivy/
+
+Regards,
+Xavier Hanin (2.0.0-alpha-2 release mgr)
