+</strong></p>
+
+I am delighted to announce that a release candidate for Rocket v0.4 is available
+today! This release brings over a year of features, improvements, and
+refinements, resolving some of the most called for requests and bringing Rocket
+measurably closer to stable compatibility.
+
+The release candidate is an opportunity to discover issues with Rocket v0.4 and
+its documentation before its general release. We encourage all users to migrate
+their applications to the release candidate and report any issues to the [GitHub
+issue tracker].
+
+Barring any major issues, the general release of Rocket v0.4 is planned for
+Friday, November 9th, when we'll post a full news article covering the biggest
+features and changes in Rocket v0.4. Until then, the [CHANGELOG] contains every
+feature addition, change, and improvement since v0.3, as well as information on
+migrating your applications to v0.4. All documentation, including the [guide]
+and [API docs], has been updated in full for v0.4.
+
+We're excited for your feedback, and we look forward to seeing you again on
+Friday, November 9th for the general release!
