+<p><strong>[ 2004 Jun 1 - Theora I bitstream freeze ]</strong></p>
+<p>
+Big news. The Theora I bistream format is now frozen! This means it's safe
+to start distributing videos in the theora format.
+</p><p>
+<em>Files produced by the alpha 3 reference encoder will be supported by
+all future decoders</em>.
+</p><p>
+Beta 1 was going to be the official freeze point, but was delayed by
+continuing work on the draft specification document; however
+we have reviewed enough of the design in writing the spec that we no
+longer need to reserve the right to make corrections to
+the encoder behavior.
+</p><p>
