+* Changes in GSRC 2013.04.06
+
+** Changes to the GSRC system
+
+*** GSRC features longer package descriptions for all GNU packages
+GSRC is now perhaps the best means of learning about the wide variety
+of software provided by GNU thanks to the new long package
+descriptions. These are viewable via the "pkg-info" Make target.
+
+*** GSRC provides a searchable package database in recfile format
+In addition to the "gsrc" script, you can now search the packages via
+the MANIFEST.rec file with GNU Recutils. If you have downloaded GSRC
+via its source archive, this file should be included. If you have
+cloned the GSRC source repository, you can build it with the
+"manifest" Make target.
+
+*** 3rd party dependencies are no longer provided
+GSRC is not a full source distribution. Thus, all non-GNU packages
+have been removed. Instead, GSRC will print a message when an
+external package is required but not present on the user's system.
+
+*** Trying to build a broken packages now prints a warning first.
+Unfortunately, not all GNU packages build correctly at present. To
+acknowledge the known build failures, GSRC will print a message and
+ask for confirmation before attempting to build such a package. This
+also indicates that the GSRC maintainer is already aware of the
+problem. 
+
+** Changes in GSRC packages
+
+*** 23 packages have been added to GSRC since the last release.
+
+*** 81 packages have been updated since the last release.
+
+*** 5 builds that were previously broken have been fixed.
+
+*** Coverage statistics
+Note: the totals include packages that will not be implemented in
+GSRC, such as retired packages, which are counted as completed. Broken
+builds are counted as incomplete. Some packages have not yet made any
+releases, which are also counted as incomplete. See TODO for more
+information.
