 This is a release candidate for a major version, with lots of new
 features, bug fixes, and some interface changes (deprecated or
 potentially misleading features were removed).
 
 The upgrade is recommended for developpers who want to help test and
 report bugs, or want to use new features now.  If you have updated
-to 0.5rc1, you are highly encouraged to update to 0.5rc2. There are
-more bug fixes and speed uptimization! But there is also a small new
-interface change about sum of [u]int* dtype.  Otherwise, users should
-wait for the 0.5 release.
+to 0.5rc1, you are highly encouraged to update to 0.5rc2.
 
 For those using the bleeding edge version in the
 git repository, we encourage you to update to the `0.5rc2` tag.
