       <h2>Release Notes for @GWT_VERSION@</h2>
+      <p>
+        This release adds support for Mac OS X version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) by allowing hosted mode to run with a 1.6 JRE in 32-bit
+        mode (using the -d32 flag).
+      </p>
+      <h3>Fixed Issues</h3>
+      <ul>
+        <li>
+          Allow hosted mode using a 1.6 JRE with the -d32 flag
+          (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=3843">#3843</a>,

+      <h2>Release Notes for 1.7.0</h2>
+      <p>
+        This release adds explicit support for Internet Explorer 8, Firefox 3.5, and Safari 4 as well as a few high-priority bug fixes.
+        In all other respects, it is very similar to GWT 1.6.
+        Note, however, that this release is version 1.7.0 rather than version 1.6.5 to signify a potentially breaking change for libraries 
+        that use deferred binding to specialize code based on user agent (see the next section for technical details).
+      </p>
+      <h3>Potentially breaking changes and fixes</h3>
+      <ul>
+        <li>
+          This release includes explicit support for IE8, which has some significant behavioral changes from prior versions of IE.
+          These changes are great enough that the new value <code>ie8</code> has been added for the <code>user.agent</code> deferred binding client property.
+          If you have deferred binding rules (i.e. <code>&lt;replace-with&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;generate-with&gt;</code>) or property providers 
+          that are sensitive to <code>user.agent</code>, you may need to update them to account for the <code>ie8</code> value. 
+          For more information, see the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/IE8Support">technical notes</a>.
+        </li>
+      </ul>
