-  A new SCons checkpoint release, 3.0.0, is now available
+  A new SCons checkpoint release, 3.2.0.alpha.yyyymmdd, is now available
   on the SCons download page:
 
           http://www.scons.org/download.php
 
+  XXX The primary purpose of this release ... XXX
 
-  Here is a summary of the changes since 2.5.1:
+  A SCons "checkpoint release" is intended to provide early access to
+  new features so they can be tested in the field before being released
+  for adoption by other software distributions.
+
+  Note that a checkpoint release is developed using the same test-driven
+  development methodology as all SCons releases.  Existing SCons
+  functionality should all work as it does in previous releases (except
+  for any changes identified in the release notes) and early adopters
+  should be able to use a checkpoint release safely for production work
+  with existing SConscript files.  If not, it represents not only a bug
+  in SCons but also a hole in the regression test suite, and we want to
+  hear about it.
+
+  New features may be more lightly tested than in past releases,
+  especially as concerns their interaction with all of the other
+  functionality in SCons.  We are especially interested in hearing bug
+  reports about new functionality.
+
+  We do not recommend that downstream distributions (Debian, Fedora,
+  etc.) package a checkpoint release, mainly to avoid confusing the
+  "public" release numbering with the long checkpoint release names.
+
+  Here is a summary of the changes since 1.3.0:
 
   NEW FUNCTIONALITY
 
-    - Initial support for Python 3.5+
-    - I
+    - List new features (presumably why a checkpoint is being released)
 
   DEPRECATED FUNCTIONALITY
