+
+Cowboy `2.0.0-rc.1` has been released!
+
+This is the new recommended version of Cowboy.
+Its API should not change before release. While
+you probably should not use it in production yet,
+many do successfully. Use at your own risk.
+
+The plan is to have a new RC version every couple
+weeks until the summer ends or later if there are
+still blocking issues open. Only issues that can't
+be fixed without making breaking changes to the
+interface may block the release.
+
+Numerous changes were made since Cowboy 1.0. The
+one most people care about is probably HTTP/2, but
+it's most likely not the only one worthwhile. The
+full list of changes (excluding types) can be found
+in the user guide chapter
+https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/guide/migrating_from_1.0/[Migrating from Cowboy 1.0 to 2.0].
+
+As this is not the full release just yet, please pay
+extra attention to details and report anything
+suspicious you find.
+
+There are still some tests failing. Most of those are
+related to standards that are not being followed perfectly
+just yet. Some of those will probably not be fixed before
+Cowboy 2.0 is released. They are edge cases and should not
+prevent interoperability.
+
+The manual received a lot of love. It now has one page per
+function with a detailed description, arguments list, return
+value, changelog and examples. It also links to the other
+relevant manual pages: https://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/2.0/manual/
+
+Cowboy is now tested and supported with Erlang/OTP 19.0 or above
+on Arch Linux, FreeBSD, OSX, Ubuntu and Windows 7. Contact me
+if you can provide permanent access to another platform for the
+purposes of testing.
+
+Cowboy is now available from four locations:
+
+* https://git.ninenines.eu/cowboy.git
+* https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy.git
+* https://bitbucket.org/ninenines/cowboy.git
+* https://gitlab.com/ninenines/cowboy.git
+
+They are updated at the same time so there is no real difference.
