@@ -43,23 +44,6 @@ Note that the Gramine project was formerly known as Graphene. However, the name

-Gramine 1.0 release
-===================
-
-Gramine has evolved a |nbsp| lot since our last major release. Over the last
-few months, we have made significant updates to provide a |nbsp| stable version
-that supports deploying key workloads with Intel SGX. We’ve rewritten major
-subsystems, done a |nbsp| significant update to the build and packaging
-scripts, extended test coverage, and improved the CI/CD process. We’ve reviewed
-and hardened specific security aspects of Gramine, and increased stability for
-long-running and heavy workloads.
-
-We recently published our first production-ready release - Gramine 1.0. This
-version was tested on various configurations and heavy workloads, we also
-ensured that all risky configurations are clearly warned about to prevent
-insecure deployments. More details (including a list of all breaking changes)
-are available on the `v1.0 release page
-<https://github.com/gramineproject/gramine/releases/tag/v1.0>`__.
