+uim 1.5.0-alpha Release Note
+============================
About This Release
------------------
-This distribution of uim 1.4.0 is latest stable release of uim.
-
-This release is for internal improvement. The non-standards-conformant
-Scheme interpreter of libuim has been replaced with newly developed
-SigScheme to make a room for next leap. There is no user-visible feature
-changes other than resource consumption reduction.
+This distribution of uim 1.5.0-alpha is a preview release for testing
+purpose. Since it may contain serious unknown problems, it should not be
+used for important work. For such situations, use our latest stable
+release uim 1.4.2.
+
+This release achieved both considerable internal improvement and many
+user-visible new feature additions.
+
+The complicated legacy C part of uim which prevented extensions, design
+improvements and automated input method tests have been turned into Scheme
+codes or optimized out.
Please report us if you find a problem.
