+ README for Mini SQL Version 2.0 Beta 1
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Note that this version is freeware only for non-commercial entities.
-Read the file "License" in the documentation directory for details.
+Welcome to Mini SQL 2! It's been a long time coming but we hope the
+wait has been worth it. As the development of mSQL 2 continues, further
+funtionality will be made available. This release concentrates on
+adding the underlying performance and data handling features to mSQL.
+
+The software has changed quite a lot since the 1.x version of mSQL.
+Some of the new features are greatly improved support for indexing your
+data, much better performance for complex queries and large data sets,
+the addition of variable length TEXT fields, support for server managed
+numeric sequences, better regular expression handling, and easier
+control over the configuration of the server.
+
+
+FreeBSD-specific port notes
+---------------------------
+
+The ports of mSQL 1.x lived in it's own tree, /usr/local/Minerva. At the
+time, mSQL was a part of a larger project called Minerva, to which other
+tools would be added. These other tools would also live in
+/usr/local/Minerva.
+
+As of the 2.x release of mSQL, the author of mSQL has put many of these
+tools into the base mSQL distribution, and so it is no longer feasible to
+have the program live in it's own directory.
+
+So, in keeping with the BSD directory tree structure, you will find the
+following changes between the "official" mSQL 2.x distribution and the
+FreeBSD port :
