 ## Project Status
 
-The software is currently being ported from Python + JavaScript + ArangoDB to Rust + SQLite. This
-increases portability, especially for local environments. Previous releases are still available and
-supported.
+We recently re-developed this software package in Rust with SQLite as the backend database,
+increasing portability and stability. We also added many new features. The code is tested and ready
+for user adoption. Interfaces are somewhat stable. Over the next 1-2 months we would like to receive
+user feedback and will consider changes. Our goal is to have a 1.0 release by March 2026.
 
-Most functionality is currently available, but the interfaces should not be treated as stable.
-Validation is not complete, and so the tool should not be used for production workloads. We expect
-the port to be ready for use by January 2026.
