    2222@heading News for version @value{VERSION}
    2323
    24 The version 4-0-0 is the first in the new
    25 release series version 4-0.
     24Version 4-0-0 is a milestone relase of Singular.
     25The new release series 4 aims for an entirely modularized system
     26simplifying connectivity with other systems and paving the way
     27for parallel computations.
     28As one step in this direction, in Singular 4-0-0,
     29the representation of coefficient rings has been separated from the representation
     30of polynomials which allows for easy integration of new types of coefficient fields.
    2631
    27 @sc{Singular} version 4 has a greater functionality and an improved architecture.
    28 Major new features are:
     32@sc{Singular} 4-0-0's list of improvements and new
     33functionality further extends that of
     34the 3-1-6/7 pre-release series.
     35One highlight is the implementation
     36of Walther's algorithm for computing deRham cohomology.
