 ## Features
 
 Draupnir has two main functions, the first is to synchronise bans for
 users and servers across all of the matrix rooms that you moderate.
 The second is to protect your community by applying policies from community curated
 policy lists, for example the [community moderation effort](https://matrix.to/#/#community-moderation-effort-bl:neko.dev),
 to your rooms around the clock. This means that communities can warn

+Draupnir has now completed this refactor and large sections of the the

+
+Draupnir remains a drop in replacement for Mjolnir and is forwards and
+backwards compatible.
+
+#### Changes in `v2.0.0-beta.*` (pre-release)
+
+* Draupnir's new core efficiently caches room state and room
+  membership allowing Draupnir to be much more responsive than
+  Mjolnir.
+
+* Draupnir is much less dependant on commands
+  and will automatically send prompts to the management room.
+  Prompts are sent for inviting Draupnir to protect rooms,
+  watch policy lists, ban users, and unban users.
+
+* Draupnir offers a [room state backing
+  store](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir/blob/main/config/default.yaml#L206-L212),
+  allowing Draupnir startup quickly, even when deployed at distance
+  from the homeserver.
+
+* Draupnir's core functionality is implemented as protections,
+  which can be dynamically turned on and off.
+
+* Most effort has been spent refactoring the code base, paving the way
+  for future feature development and adjacent projects. This includes
+  the rewrite of the core of Draupnir into the
+  [matrix-protection-suite](https://github.com/Gnuxie/matrix-protection-suite),
+  providing all the Matrix client code required to operate a
+  protection platform.  The
+  [interface-manager](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/interface-manager)
+  providing an advanced command-oriented interface (note, this does
+  not mean command-line interface). The
+  [matrix-basic-types](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/matrix-basic-types)
+  library for dealing with Matrix's various string types. And finally
+  the introduction of [prettier](https://prettier.io/),
+  [eslint](https://eslint.org/) and
+  [typescript-eslint](https://typescript-eslint.io/) into Draupnir's
+  development tooling, modernising TypeScript development.

 ## Status
 
-The UX and code base of Draupnir is being overhauled and Draupnir is
-slowly moving towards a 2.0.0 release.
+Draupnir is being supported with a grant from NLnet,

+Currently The UX and code base of Draupnir has been overhauled and
+Draupnir is moving towards a 2.0.0 release.
 
 As Draupnir heads towards `v2.0.0`, releases will appear [here](https://github.com/Gnuxie/Draupnir/releases).
 Until `v2.0.0` there will be frequent changes to commands but all of these
 will be noted in the changes for that release.
 
+Currently, we are running a beta channel (`v2.0.0-beta.*`). As of now
+all functionality apart from dynamic configuration of protection
+settings is stable in the beta channel.

 For the latest stable release, see `v1.87.0`, the documentation
 for which can be found [here](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/Draupnir/tree/v1.87.0).
