 ACRN v1.0.1 (July 2019)
 #######################
 
-We are pleased to announce the release of ACRN version 1.0.1. It is a maintenance
-release of v1.0 mainly for security fixes. It's off of the release_1.0 branch rather
-than master branch that most of ACRN releases are base on.
+We are pleased to announce the release of ACRN version 1.0.1. This is a
+maintenance release based off the v1.0 branch that primarily fixes some
+potential security and stability issues discovered after the v1.0
+release.
 
-ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor that's built with real-time and safety-criticality
-in mind and is optimized to streamline embedded development through an open source platform.
-Check out :ref:`introduction` for more information. All project ACRN source code is maintained in the
-https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor repository and includes folders for the ACRN hypervisor,
-the ACRN device model, tools, and documentation. You can either download this source code as a zip or tar.gz file
-(see the `ACRN v1.0.1 GitHub release page <https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/releases/tag/v1.0.1>`_)
