+# Deluge 2.0 release notes
+
+Welcome to the latest release of Deluge, a long time in the making!
+
+## What's new
+
+Some of the highlights since the last major release.
+
+- Migrated to Python 3 with minimal support retained for Python 2.7.
+- Shiny new logo.
+- Multi-user support.
+- Performance updates to handle thousands of torrents with faster loading times.
+- A New Console UI which emulates GTK/Web UIs.
+- GTK UI migrated to GTK3 with UI improvements and additions.
+- Magnet pre-fetching to allow file selection when adding torrent.
+- Fully support libtorrent 1.2 release.
+- Language switching support.
+- Improved documentation hosted on ReadTheDocs.
+- AutoAdd plugin replaces built-in functionality.
+- Web UI now daemonizes by default so service scripts will require `-d` option.
+
+## Packaging
+
+### PyPi
+
+As well as the usual source tarball available for [download] we now have published
+Deluge on the PyPi software repository.
+
+- <https://pypi.org/project/deluge/>
+
+### Windows and MacOS
+
+Unfortunately there are no packages yet for [Windows] or MacOS but they are being worked
+on. For now alternative [install] methods are available for testing.
+
+## Upgrade considerations
+
+Deluge 2.0 is not compatible with Deluge 1.x clients or daemons so these will require
+upgrading too. Also third-party Python scripts may not be compatible if they directly
+connect to the Deluge client and will need migrating.
+
+Always make a backup of your [config] before a major version upgrade to guard against
+data loss.
+
+Translations may not be as up-to date so please help out, see [translations] page.
+
+Plugins written for Deluge 1.3 will need upgrading for Deluge 2.0, due to the
+requirement of Python 3 and GTK3 UI. There is a [update plugin] document to help
+Plugin authors update their plugins.
