-This is a cvs pre-release version of Ghostscript.
+This is the first beta release in preparation for 8.0. A great many
+bugs have been fixed since the 7.30 alpha release, and it should be
+stable for most users. Two features planned for 8.0 are not yet fully
+functional, however: subpixel positioning of antialiased text, and
+Well Tempered Screening (the latter can be enabled for experimentation,
+but does not work for 0 and 45 degree angles).
