+# 0.0.98 - 2021-06-11
+
+0.0.98 should be considered a release candidate to the first alpha release of
+Rust-Lightning and the broader LDK. It represents several years of work
+designing and fine-tuning a flexible API for integrating lightning into any
+application. LDK should make it easy to build a lightning node or client which
+meets specific requirements that other lightning node software cannot. As
+lightning continues to evolve, and new use-cases for lightning develop, the API
+of LDK will continue to change and expand. However, starting with version 0.1,
+objects serialized with prior versions will be readable with the latest LDK.
+While Rust-Lightning is approaching the 0.1 milestone, language bindings
+components of LDK available at https://github.com/lightningdevkit are still of
+varying quality. Some are also approaching an 0.1 release, while others are
+still much more experimental. Please note that, at 0.0.98, using Rust-Lightning
+on mainnet is *strongly* discouraged.
