+@sc{Singular} version 2 is generally much faster than any previous version of
+@sc{Singular}, due to a rewriting of major parts of
+the @sc{Singular} kernel (e.g., the kernel has a new memory manager and a
+new polynomial arithmetic), and due to new and
+better implemented algorithms (e.g., for computing resolutions
+and determinants).
 
-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). 
-
-Although there are no known bugs, 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. Therefore, it is important to us, that users try out this new
-version and report their bugs/comments and suggestions.
-
-Furthermore, the current version is generally not yet as fast as version 
-1.2. But this is going to change dramatically in the upcoming release
-version(s). 
-
+Besides these internal changes, @sc{Singular} version 2 offers many new features
+and functionalities (which were already partly included in the 1-3 series).
+E.g., a native Windows distribution, an Emacs user interface,
+a new help system, 16 new libraries, etc.
