-      TODO
+      This is the Release Candidate for GWT 1.3, the first completely open source version of GWT. 
+      This version has no new functionality, but we did make a lot of changes to get the source code and build scripts into presentable shape to prepare for ongoing open source development.
+      Although the changes were relatively harmelss -- formatting, sorting, more documentation, and a new build system -- there's always a small chance of problems, so we plan to call this a Release Candidate until we've convinced ourselves it's reliable.
