-     nano is currently at version 0.9.x, and it will probably remain there
-     for awhile. This reflects the adage that the last 10% of a project
-     takes 90% of the time. Version 1.0 will be released when there are
-     no unresolved bugs, and not before. I am also currently looking for
-     patches for all things listed in the TODO file. If you have a
-     comment or suggestion, please let me know, all help is appreciated.

+     nano is currently at the 1.0 prerelease level. This mean it has all
+     features that the 1.0 version will have and only bug fixes and updates 
+     will be added before the official 1.0 is released. There are still a
+     few lingering bugs, but for the most part your data should be safe.
+     Backups are still your friend though.
