+<p>
+For this release we have mainly focused on making Camlistore run on remote servers, in particular the Google Cloud infrastructure. This goal involved a lot work just to adapt to this particular environment, but it also relies on many improvements to make it a good user experience, and most notably on two major features: the blobpacked blobserver, and HTTP/2.
+</p>
+<p>
+The blobpacked server allows faster reading, and hence serving, of files because they end up stored in large continuous blobs stored together (basically zip files) instead of many more small randomly distributed blobs. See the <a href="https://camlistore.org/pkg/blobserver/blobpacked">blobpacked package</a> documentation. 
+</p>
+<p>
+The HTTP/2 server Go implementation is not yet in the standard library, but it is already solid and used in the Camlistore server. So you will benefit from it if it is enabled for your browser. See <a href="https://http2.golang.org/">https://http2.golang.org/</a> for more.
+</p>
 
-Performance & bug fixes:
-- major performance optimization/bug fix when reading files: 71a1a1ff8d0afdd116b1776e874d8b8a0729ab11
-- blobpacked: to reduce number of seeks and keep data physically together
-- oauth2 update
+<p>
+In a related vein, we have worked on a launcher, to facilitate Camlistore deployment on cloud infrastructures, again with a focus on Google Cloud for now. Try it out at <a href="https://camlistore.org/launch">https://camlistore.org/launch</a>!
