+            <description><![CDATA[
+							<p>NetNewsWire 5.0 has reached alpha stage! This means it has no known bugs. It surely <i>does</i> have bugs, though. Now it’s time for testing. (And writing the Help book. And making the website better.)</p>            
+							<p>Fixed a crashing bug with parsing a response from Feedbin. (Totally our fault, not Feedbin’s fault.)</p>
+							<p>Show avatars from Micro.blog feeds with multiple authors (such as your personal timeline feed).</p>
+							<p>Made OPML import to the On My Mac account way faster.</p>
+							<p>The Today smart feed now updates when the day changes.</p>
+							<p>You can now drag and drop in the sidebar between accounts.</p>
+							<p>Made the default file name for OPML exports “Subscriptions-[accountName].opml”</p>
+							<p>Add explanation text to Account preferences for the Name field. (It’s just a display name and doesn’t affect authentication.)</p>
+							<p>Fixed several bugs with Feedbin syncing — it’s now more reliable. (We know of no remaining sync bugs, though of course there might be some.)</p>
+							<p>Added a placeholder web page for the Help book.</p>
+							<p>New app icon! But it might take a while for your Mac to notice and put in the Dock. (I wish we could speed that up, but it’s ou of our control.)</p>
