+[LV2 1.0.0](http://lv2plug.in/spec/lv2-1.0.0.tar.bz2) has been released.  LV2 is a plugin standard for audio systems. It defines a minimal yet extensible C API for plugin code and a format for plugin "bundles".  See <http://lv2plug.in> for more information.
 
 Changes:
 
  * Initial release as a unified project.  Projects can now simply depend on the pkg-config package 'lv2' for all official LV2 APIs.
  * New extensions: atom, log, parameters, patch, port-groups, port-props, resize-port, state, time, worker.
  * atom: Initial release.
- * core: Add new discovery API which allows libraries to read bundle files during discovery, makes library construction/destruction explicit, and adds extensibility to prevent future breakage.
- * core: Relax the range of lv2:index so it can be used for things other than ports.
  * core: Add lv2:CVPort.
- * core: Remove lv2:Resource, which turned out to be meaningless.
+ * core: Add metadata concept of a designation, a channel or parameter description which can be assigned to ports for more intelligent use by hosts.
