+In all versions
+===============
+
+* the JAI library used for creating thumnails of images will often make the
+  thumbnail for a GIF or PNG image look like it has some television set snow in
+  it. The workaround would be to upload Jpeg images if you can. We are looking
+  into replacing JAI with another library.
+* when deleting an item, be it an article or an uploaded media file, the action
+  will remove the data/meta-data from the DB and prevent it from show up in
+  lists, but it will not delete the file from the filesystem. hopefully this
+  will be fixed before 1.1.0 is released and in 1.0.1. (FIXME: is this still a
+  problem in the HEAD branch?)
+* single quotes in text get convert to an HTML encoding when stored in the DB..
+  it is a quickhack that we have to do cause are persistance layer can't handle
+  them when doing prepared statements.. (FIXME: is this still in HEAD?)
+* some obscure "under certain conditions" corner cases listed in our bug tracker
+  at https://prod.indymedia.nl/mantis
+* some others that I'm forgetting now.
