+The current version @value{VERSION} is an alpha-release of the upcoming
+new release version 2-0 (should be there at the beginning of
+2000). Items labeled with "TBC" in this news file are features which
+still have to be implemented and/or documented.
+
+It is to be expected that the current version @value{VERSION} is not as
+stable as the 1.2 version(s), since major changes were done to the
+@sc{Singular} kernel (although, there are no known bugs in the current
+version). Therefore, it is important to us, that users try out this
+new version. 
+
+Furthermore, the current version is generally not yet as fast as version 
+1.2. But this is going to change dramatically in the upcoming version(s).
+
+Thank you very much for your support!

+@item new data structures for monomials and polynomials
+Makes polynomial arithmetic significantly faster. Especially for block - 
+or weighted orderings. TBC: Faster polynomial arithmetic for orderings
+(like dp, or lp). TBC: Bucket representation of polynomials in std; TBC: 
+DegBound during std computations.
+@item new memory management
+Results is less memory usage, faster memory allocation/free, less
+fragmentation, much better locality of reference.
