-1.0b15 (in development)
------------------------
+1.0b15 (July XX, 2012)
+----------------------
 
-This release contains one backwards-incompatible change: album art fetching,
-which was previously baked into the import workflow, is now encapsulated in a
-plugin (the :doc:`/plugins/fetchart`). If you want to continue fetching cover
-art for your music, enable this plugin after upgrading to beets 1.0b15.
+The fifteenth (!) beta of beets is compendium of small fixes and features, most
+of which represent long-standing requests. The improvements include matching
+albums with extra tracks, per-disc track numbering in multi-disc albums, an
+overhaul of the album art downloader, and robustness enhancements that should
+keep beets running even when things go wrong. All these smaller changes should
+help us focus on some larger changes coming before 1.0.

+  if you tried to match album with 15 audio files but the MusicBrainz entry had
   only 14 tracks, beets would ignore this match. Now, beets will show you
   matches even when they are "too short" and indicate which tracks from your
   disk are unmatched.
-* Tracks on multi-disc albums can now be numbered per-disc instead of per-album
