+This is the first beta of the 2.4 series, leading up to a 2.4.0
+release in August 2011.  Beta releases are suitable for everyday use
+but may cause some incompatibilities with plugins.  Some plugins may need
+small updates to work with 2.4b1.
 
 External Compatibility Breaks
 *****************************
 
-.. These may require users to change the way they use Bazaar.

 New Features
 ************
 
-.. New commands, options, etc that users may wish to try out.
-
 * Added ``changelog_merge`` plugin for merging changes to ``Changelog`` files
   in GNU format.  See ``bzr help changelog_merge`` for details.

 Improvements
 ************
 
-.. Improvements to existing commands, especially improved performance

 * A new hidden command ``bzr repair-workingtree``. This is a way to force
   the dirstate file to be rebuilt, rather than using a ``bzr checkout``
   workaround. (John Arbash Meinel)

 Testing
