 <p>
-    exciting, blah blah.
     Carla 2.0 is a full rework of the first Carla release.<br/>
-    It will implement the missing features in the 1.x series,
-    making it a really fully-featured plugin host. <!-- and somewhat session manager for plugins--><br/>
+    It's currently under development with a planned release later this year.<br/>
+    Today the first beta is released, and we'll show you what to expect when the final version arrives.<br/>
 </p>
+<p>
+    DISCLAIMER: This is a beta release! Although all features mentioned here are working right now, they may be incomplete, have bugs or even eat your cat!<br/>
+    You've been warned. ;)<br/>

-  ===> canvas integration.<br/>
+  When using the JACK multi-client mode, plugins will be mapped to their respective canvas group.<br/>
+  Double-clicking the plugin group will show its UI, while pressing 'delete' will remove the actual plugin.<br/>
+  There's extra right-click options, and the keyboard and meters will react accordingly.<br/>
