+
+We are very happy to announce the second release candidate of the 2.0.0 series **2.0.0-rc1** is now available for download.
+
+The tar archive can be found on [http://pub.freerdp.com/releases/](http://pub.freerdp.com/releases/) and
+here is the link to the github [release page](https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/releases/tag/2.0.0-rc1)
+
+Since 2.0.0-rc0 there have been more than 330 commits, from 32 individual contributors. Thank you all for
+your support.
+
+If you are interested in the changes since rc0 have a look at the [Changelog](https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/blob/master/ChangeLog)
+respectively the [GitHub milestone](https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/milestone/7) or use git log for a detailed list.
+
+This is a pre-release of the upcoming 2.0.0 release. There will be one, maybe two, more release
+canidates before the final release.
+If you want to help us smashing issues or if you interested have a look at the open issues for the
+[rc2 milestone](https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/milestone/8).
+
+People linking against FreeRDP should be aware that until the final release is done some minor changes in
+ABI/API might still happen (although we try to keep them to a minimum).
