+          <h2>6-2016: GNU Taler 0.0.0 released</h2>
+          <p>We have reached our first big milestone, the 0.0.0 release!
+             The release includes implementations of a bank, exchange, merchant and wallet
+             and is available on the GNU FTP mirrors.
+             <br>
+             While the exchange implements the
+             complete protocol, the implementations of merchant and wallet are both
+             fundamentally incomplete and still lack key features, including important
+             error handling. GNU Taler still lacks an implementation of an auditor or
+             logic for integration with "real" banks.
+             Thus, this release should not yet be used for actual financial
+             transactions.
+             <br>
+             That said, you can already setup your own functional payment system
+             and run your own toy currency -- or just try out the demo using
+             the Chrome/Chromium browser at <a href="https://demo.taler.net/">demo.taler.net</a>.
+             <br>
+             Please provide feedback to our <a href="https://gnunet.org/bugs/">bug tracker</a>.
+             There, you can also find our <a href="https://gnunet.org/bugs/roadmap_page.php">roadmap</a>

           <p>We finally have a first simple demo for Taler online. The Firefox-variant
              still needs some love, but you can start to try out the demo using
