-libt2n (talk2neighbor) is a C++ IPC (inter process communication) library.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+libt2n version 0.5
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+libt2n (talk2neighbor) is a C++ IPC (inter process communication) library
+with an additional code generator (libt2n-codegen).
+
+Before inventing our own IPC library, we checked a lot of other IPC frameworks
+like CORBA, D-BUS and ICE. But they weren't easy to use and did not allow
+passing complex C++ objects like vectors, maps and your own classes.
+
+Communication between client and server is currently done using
+Unix domain sockets (named pipes) or TCP. But the library is designed
+transport-independent, so it can be expanded to
+shared memory or other mechanisms.
+
+Serializing all the complex objects is done with Boost serialization. 
+The complete manual is generated by doxygen in the doc directory.
+
+Changes from 0.4
+----------------
+* New project home
+* Fixed calls to virtual functions in constructors/destructors
+* Improvements for data transfers larger than 2 GB
+* Fixed uninitialized variables causing random transfer problems
