-Greetings libc hackers!
-
-This package is an _alpha_ release of musl, intended for the curious
-and the adventurous. While it can be used to build a complete small
-Linux system (musl is self-hosted on the system I use to develop it),
-at this point doing so requires a lot of manual effort. Nonetheless, I
-hope low-level Linux enthusiasts will try out building some compact
-static binaries with musl using the provided gcc wrapper (which allows
-you to link programs with musl on a "standard" glibc Linux system),
-find whatever embarassing bugs I've let slip through, and provide
-feedback on issues encountered building various software against musl.
-
-Please visit #musl on Freenode IRC or contact me via email at dalias
-AT etalabs DOT net for bug reports, support requests, or to get
-involved in development. As this has been a one-person project so far,
-mailing lists will be setup in due time on an as-needed basis.

-Thank you for trying out musl.

+Greetings!
+
+With the 0.9.0 release, musl has reached a milestone in completeness
+and compatibility. All interfaces in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base exist
+in musl, along with a number of non-standardized interfaces based on
+GNU and BSD libraries and syscall interfaces for Linux-kernel-specific
+functions. Some interfaces lack obscure or rarely-used functionality
+needed for strict conformance, but the vast majority of interfaces go
+above and beyond the requirements for conformance, often promising
+success where other implementations can fail under resource exhaustion
+or other corner-case conditions.
+
+At this point, hundreds of packages have been successfully built
+against musl - either out-of-the-box or with minor patches to address
+portability errors - ranging from low-level system utilities and
+network daemons to major gui applications. Testing has been conducted
+using three separate test frameworks and numerous additional
+standalone test cases to verify the correctness of the implementation.
+
+Included with this package is a gcc wrapper script (musl-gcc) which
+allows you to build musl-linked programs using an existing gcc 3.x or
+4.x toolchain on the host. There are also now at several mini
+distributions (in the form of build scripts) which provide a
+self-hosting musl-based toolchain and system root. These are much
+better options than the wrapper script if you wish to use dynamic
+linking or build packages with many library dependencies. See the musl
+website for details.
+
+The musl project is actively seeking contributors, mostly in the areas
+of porting, testing, and application compatibility improvement. For
+bug reports, support requests, or to get involved in development,
+please visit #musl on Freenode IRC or subscribe to the musl mailing
+list by sending a blank email to musl-subscribe AT lists DOT openwall
+DOT com.

+Thank you for using musl.
