+Dear CrystFEL users and interested crystallographers,
+
+CrystFEL version 0.10.0 has been released!
+
+This is a huge update to CrystFEL, adding a completely new graphical user
+interface (GUI) which makes it much easier to interact with your data, guiding
+you through the processing steps. To give a preview of the GUI and help you
+get started, I've made a video tutorial to accompany this release:
+https://www.desy.de/~twhite/crystfel/presentations.html
+
+Electron diffraction is fully supported in this version of CrystFEL. Amongst
+other things, you can now specify an electron accelerating voltage (instead of
+an X-ray photon energy) in the geometry file. Combined with the 'diffractem'
+pre-processing software developed by the Max Planck Institute for the Structure
+and Dynamics of Matter, you have a complete solution for processing data from
+serial electron diffraction crystallography. For more details, see:
+https://gitlab.desy.de/thomas.white/crystfel/-/blob/master/doc/articles/electrons.rst
+
+In addition, I've taken advantage of the extended quiet time to work on many
+internal parts of CrystFEL. The most noticable benefit of this is that several
+parts of CrystFEL are now much faster.
+
+Some command-line parameters and geometry file directives have changed, but you
+should find that the error messages will direct you towards what needs to be
+updated.
+
+See the release notes and the ChangeLog for full details of the other
+improvements.
