 New features in this version include:
 
-* An architecture for Plugins which enables a smaller Forrest
-core and the ability to add new features in a modular way.
+* Locationmaps define the mapping from requests to locations,
+which enables content and resources to be located at various
+different sources. The advantage of this is that the URL seen
+by the user need bear no relation to the location of the source
+document, thus Forrest can separate the client URL space from
+the source document URL space. Thus, using the locationmap
+it is possible to pull together documents from many different
+locations into a single uniform site.In addition, since the
+user URL space is now unconnected to the source URL space it is 
+possible to move source documents without breaking any existing
+user links.
