-I'm pleased to announce version 0.18 of hledger.
+I'm pleased to announce the release of hledger and hledger-web 0.18.1 (in
+time for Debian wheezy!)
 
 hledger (http://hledger.org) is a haskell library, command-line tool and
-web application for working with financial data (or anything that can be
-tracked numerically in an accounting journal). It is inspired by and
-compatible with John Wiegley's Ledger. hledger reads a plain text file
-describing transactions and lets you query account balances or transaction
-details by various criteria.  It can also help you record new
-transactions, or convert CSV data from your bank.

-Release notes (http://hledger.org/NEWS.html):
-
-  * web: hledger-web is now based on yesod 1.0
-
-  * web: fix js error breaking second use of add form (#72)
-
-  * web: make `yesod devel` work
-
-  * the command-line now supports a more powerful query language, consistent with the web UI
-
-  * hledger now fully supports tags (aka metadata) on both transactions and postings, and querying by tag or tag value
-
-  * new commands `incomestatement`, `balancesheet`, and `cashflow` provide basic financial statements under certain conditions
-
-  * format conversion is now done on demand, and the convert command has been dropped. So instead of
-    `hledger convert FILE.csv` just do `hledger -f FILE.csv print` or any other command.
-    You can also pipe any supported format into `hledger -f- CMD` and hledger will try to do the right thing.
-
-  * support for GHC 6.12 has been dropped; this release has been tested with GHC 7.0.4, 7.2.2, and 7.4.1
-
-  * unicode is now handled properly on all supported GHC versions
-
-  * API and internal cleanups
