+<p><strong>[ 2004 Mar 20 - alpha 3 release ]</strong></p>
+<p>
+I'm happy to announce at long last the release of theora alpha 3. This 
+incorporates all the bitstream changes we wanted to make both for future 
+encoder improvements and to permit lossless transcode of VP3 content. 
+This is an important milestone for us on the road to a stable release.
+<p>
+As this is an alpha release we are again providing sources only. See the 
+files section of downloads.
+This version requires libogg 1.1 or later and libvorbis 1.0.1 or later.
+<p>
+Also new in this release are a set of experimental tools in the win32 
+directory contributed by Mauricio Piacentini. This includes a 
+transcoding tool for avi-encapsulated vp3 video which also works on 
+linux.
+<p>
+We hope to not make any further incompatible bitstream changes, but this 
+is still alpha code. Don't use this for content you're not ready to 
+re-encode!
+<p>
+Thanks to everyone who contributed!
