+Version 0.4.0 beta 1
+--------------------
+
+2011-04-10
+
+Features added since alpha 4:
+
+* Job Code functionality, mimicking that found in version 0.2.3.
+* Eject device button for each unmountable device in main window.
+* When not all files have been downloaded from a device, the number remaining
+  is displayed in the device's progress bar
+* Overall download progress is displayed in progress bar at bottom of window
+* Time remaining and download speed are displayed in the status bar
+* System notification messages
+* Automation features:
+    * Automatically start a download at program startup or when a device
+      is inserted. When this is enabled, to optimize performance instead of
+      thumbnails being generated before the files are downloaded, they are
+      generated during the download.
+    * Eject a device when all files have been downloaded from it.
+    * Exit when all files have been downloaded.
+
+The automation feature to delete downloaded files from a device will be added 
+only when the non-alpha/beta of version 0.4.0 is released.
+
+The major feature currently not implemented is backups.
+
+Note: if videos are downloaded, the device may not be able to be unmounted
+until Rapid Photo Downloader is exited. See bug #744012 for details.
+
+Bug fix: adjust vertical pane position when additional devices are inserted
+Bug fix: display file and subfolder naming warnings in error log
+
+Updated Czech, French and Russian translations.

+
+Rapid Photo Downloader is much faster and sports a new user interface. It is
+about 50 times faster in tasks like scanning photos and videos before the 
+download. It also performs the actual downloads quicker. It will use
+multiple CPU cores if they are available. 
+
+Rapid Photo Downloader now requires version 0.3.0 or newer of pyexiv2. It also
+requries Python Imaging (PIL) to run. It will only run on recent Linux
+distributions such as Ubuntu 10.04 or newer. It has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04,
+10.10 and 11.04, as well as Fedora 14. (There is currently an unusual bug 
+adjusting some preferences when running Ubuntu 11.04. See bug #739021).
+
+This is an alpha release because it is missing features that are present in 
+version 0.3.5. Missing features include:
+
+* System Notifications of download completion
+* Job Codes
+* Backups as you download
+* Automation features, e.g. automatically start download at startup
+* Error log window (currently you must check the command line for error output)
+* Time remaining status messages
+* Synchronize RAW + JPEG Sequence Numbers
+* Add unique identifier to a filename if a file with the same name already 
+  exists
+* Sample file names and subfolders are not displayed in the preferences window
+
+These missing features will be added in subsequent alpha and beta releases.
+
+Kaa-metadata is no longer required to download videos. However, if you 
+want to use Frames Per Second or Codec metadata information in subfolder or
+video file names, you must ensure it is installed. This is no longer checked at 
+program startup. 
+
+Thanks go to Robert Park for refreshing the translations code.
+
+Added Romanian translation.
