+            	<p><b>Beta!</b> This is the first beta release. This means that we think the app is ready to ship — but it should get more testing to be sure.</p>
+            	<p>There is now a <a href="https://ranchero.com/netnewswire/help/mac/5.0/en/">Help Book</a> on the web. We’ll continue to update it up until we ship.</p>
+         			<p>Unread counts: for the sidebar unread count, get the unread count for the selected feed/folder from the timeline.</p>
+            	<p>Today feed: now shows last 24 hours. This way articles don’t just disappear at midnight. This kind of stretches the meaning of “Today,” but we think it’s fine.</p>
+            	<p>Fixed a few AppleScript bugs, including a crashing bug that could happen when adding a feed that already exists.</p>
+            	<p>Finalized the AppleScript scripting dictionary.</p>
+            	<p>Performance: do async fetches for the timeline when an event triggers a need for a refresh. This way the main thread isn’t blocked.</p>
+            	<p>Performance: reload the sidebar outline less often. Only when actually needed.</p>
+            	<p>Performance: remove some unneeded drawing behind the timeline. This makes resizing the timeline horizontally faster.</p>
+            	<p>Performance: make some additional database operations async that could be made so.</p>
+              <p>About box: add additional credits.</p>
+            	<p>Fix typos in some error messages — they were using a foot mark instead of a curly quote.</p>

 						<p>Updated to the latest Sparkle — the thing that does these in-app version upgrades — which has better support Dark Mode. Also, it might fix a bug where Check for Updates… is sometimes not available when it should be. (Maybe.)</p>
 							<p><b>Status note:</b> At this point we have no known bugs to fix before 5.0 beta. No crashing bugs. All that remains is documentation. So, please keep looking for bugs! :)</p>
