+Major enhancements in Gramps 4.2.0:
 
-UNSTABLE Gramps 4.0.0 Beta2 release.
+* GEP 36: GEPS 036: Extended Alternative Place Name Handling:
+https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_036:_Extended_Alternative_Place_Name_Handling
 
-This is a technology preview to allow distribution packagers (and plugin
-writers) to update their scripts (and plugins). This release is not
-production ready, so only use it for testing!
+* GEP interactive search: own interactive-search box.
 
-It is recommended that Gramps 4.0.0 be used with python 2.7 since many
-dependent packages do not yet have python 3 versions.  A determined person
-can probably download their sources and build them, however.
-
-The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are _completely_ different than 3.4 due 
-to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So 
-only install 4.0.0 if you are certain you can obtain the dependencies, 
-see README and INSTALL. 
-
-For linux, in Ubuntu 12.10 you can install 4.0.0, but you will need to 
-compile and install osmgpsmap manually to have the maps working (see 
-http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#OsmGpsMap_for_Geography )
