+          <h3>2017-10: GNU Taler v0.5.0 released</h3>
+	  <p>
+          We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.5.0.
+          The main new feature is customer tipping, which allows
+          merchants to pay small rewards directly into a customer's
+          wallet.  Technical improvements include numerous performance
+          improvements and bug fixes, as well as a new, simpler to use
+          API for merchants that also enables the implementation of
+          GNU Taler wallets on platforms that do not support
+          WebExtensions.
+	  <br>
+          The Chrome and Chromium wallets are available for download
+	  via the App store.  The exchange, merchant backend and bank
+	  components are on the GNU FTP mirrors.
+	  </p>
