+==============================
+What's New in SQLAlchemy 0.8?
+==============================
+
+.. admonition:: About this Document
+
+    This document describes changes between SQLAlchemy version 0.8,
+    undergoing maintenance releases as of May, 2013,
+    and SQLAlchemy version 0., which is expected for release
+    in late 2013.
+
+    Document date: May 29, 2013
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This guide introduces what's new in SQLAlchemy version 0.9,
+and also documents changes which affect users migrating
+their applications from the 0.8 series of SQLAlchemy to 0.9.
+
+Version 0.9 is a faster-than-usual push from version 0.8,
+featuring a more versatile codebase with regards to modern
+Python versions.   The upgrade path at the moment requires no changes
+to user code, however this is subject to change.
+
+Platform Support
+================
+
+Targeting Python 2.6 and Up Now, Python 3 without 2to3
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+The first achievement of the 0.9 release is to remove the dependency
+on the 2to3 tool for Python 3 compatibility.  To make this
+more straightforward, the lowest Python release targeted now
+is 2.6, which features a wide degree of cross-compatibility with
+Python 3.   All SQLAlchemy modules and unit tests are now interpreted
+equally well with any Python interpreter from 2.6 forward, including
+the 3.1 and 3.2 interpreters.
+
+At the moment, the C extensions are still not fully ported to
+Python 3.
