-<p><b>MMC/SD and USB Mass Storage Support</b>.
-  The nuttx-0.3.17 release includes  additional support for USB in NuttX.
-  The following new features were added:
+<p>
+  This release includes two partially completed ports, several new features, and a
+  couple of important bug fixes.  The two partially completed ports are:
+  <ul>
+    <li>The STMicro STR71x processor and configuration for the Olimex STR-P711 board, and</li>
+    <li>The Hitachi SH-1 using the SH1_LCEVB1 (SH-1/US7032EVB1) board.</li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+  Progress on these ports is stalled (as detailed in the ChangeLog).
+</p>
+<p>
+  The new features focus primarily on management of block devices and extensions of
+  the NuttShell (NSH).  These new features include:
   <ul>
-    <li>Added support for SPI-based MMC/SD cards (with an SPI driver for the NXP LPC214x).</li>
-    <li>Added USB storage class device side driver (BBB)</li>
-    <li>Added an example that demonstrates the USB storage class by exporting the SPI based MMC/SD card on the NXP LPC214x.</li>
+    <li>A loop device that converts a file into a block device,</li>
+    <li>A block to character (BCH) driver that  allow access a block device as if it were character device, </li>
+    <li>Added strcasecmp() and strncasecmp() libc functions, and </li>
+    <li>Added the 'dd' and 'losetup' commands to NSH. These commands (along with mkfatfs and mount),
+        give good managment of filesystems on the target.</li>
   </ul>
 </p>
 <p>
-  This is an early alpha release of these drivers.
-  A known problem is that the storage driver does not work properly with WinXP when debug features are disabled.
+  Several bugs were fixed, the most important of which are:
+  <ul>
+    <li>Fixd a race condition workaround delay in LPC214X SPI logic.  This was also
+        the cause of some bad MMC/SD performance on that platform.</li>
+    <li>Fixed a recently introduced FAT file system problem: It would mount a (invalid)
+        FAT file system even if the medium is not formatted!</li>
+    <li>Corrected two iother important errors in the FAT lseek implementation:
+        (1) the sectors-per-cluster value was being reset to "1" and (2) important
+        lseek logic was omitted when the seek position was zero.</li>
+  </ul>
 </p>
-<p><b>Bugs Fixed</b>
-  Several important bugs were also fixed in the FAT file system, USB serial driver and
-  NXP LPC214x USB controller driver (see the current <a href="#currentrelease">ChangeLog</a> for details).
+<p>
+  The FAT filesystem has had many bugs fixed in it and, I think, is now maturing
+  and becoming stable.
 </p>
 <p>
-  These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board using a Linux development environment.
-  USB testing was performed using both a Linux host and a WinXP host.
-  As usual, any feedback about bugs or suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated.
+  These changes were verified only on the mcu123.com NXP LPC2148 board, the Hitachi
+  SH1_LCEVB1 board, and the Linux simulator, all using a Linux development environment.
+  Please report any errors to me.
