+==========================
+
+HTTPS connections and authentication have been added to Radicale this
+week. Command-line options and personal configuration files are also ready for
+test. According to the TODO file included in the package, the next version will
+finally be 0.2, when sunbird 1.0 is out. Go, Mozilla hackers, go!
+
+HTTPS connection
+  HTTPS connections are now available using the standard SSL mechanisms. Give
+  Radicale a private key and a certificate, and your data are now safe.
+
+Authentication
+  A simple authentication architecture is now available, allowing different
+  methods thanks to different modules. The first two modules are ``fake`` (no
+  authentication) and ``htpasswd`` (authentication with an ``htpasswd`` file
+  created by the Apache tool). More methods such as LDAP are coming soon!
