+We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.5.1 of
+allmydata.org "Tahoe", a secure, decentralized storage grid under a
+free-software licence.  This is a security patch to v0.5.0, which was
+the follow-up to v0.4, which was released June 29, 2007 (see [1]).
 
-Since then we've made several improvements, including:
+Since v0.5.0 we've made the following changes:
+
+ * fixed security flaw in which XSS/XSRF attacks could disclose
+   private files or delete files (ticket #98)
+
+ * updated the webapi and the webapi.txt document for clarity and
+   easier access to read/write permission metadata (ticket #118)
+
+ * removed the --vdrive option from the command-line tools, since the
+   security fix makes the private vdrive unavailable to the
+   command-line tools; We will make it available again in a secure way
+   in a future release -- see ticket #120.
+
+Since v0.4 we've made several improvements, including:
 
  * a RESTful API for programming your Tahoe node in the language of
    your choice [2]
