+<h3>New encoder alpha release</h3>
+<p class="newsdate">2009 March 27</p>
+
+<p>We're pleased to announce the first alpha release of the new theora 
+reference encoder, code name "thusnelda".
+
+<p>This new version offers vastly improved quality/bitrate, making 
+the reference encoder much more competitive with the current generation 
+of encoders for other video formats. Currently in alpha, this code will 
+be released at libtheora-1.1 when stable.
+
+
+<p>If you're comfortable building software, please download the source 
+and give us some feedback.
