-Dune is now fairly stable and is used by the majority of packages on opam.
-Nevertheless, breaking changes are expected until 1.0. The release of 1.0 will
-also include the jbuilder to dune renaming. This renaming will do away with the
-old name entirely. While this will be a breaking change, dune will provide a
-tool to automatically migrate pre 1.0 projects.

+Dune is now fairly stable and is used by the majority of packages on
+opam. The package is still in beta version as we are waiting for the
+renaming from Jbuilder to Dune before releasing version 1.0.0. Note
+that Dune will have backward compatiblity with Jbuilder, in particular
+existing Jbuilder projects will continue to be buildable with
+Dune. Additionally, Dune will be able to automatically convert a
+Jbuilder project into a Dune project.
