 *** The Pipelet functionalities
 
 Pipelet is a free framework which helps you : 
 + to write and manipulate pipelines with any dependency scheme, 
-+ to dispatch the computational tasks on parallel architectures, 
-+ to keep track of what processing has been applied to your data and perform comparisons.
++ to keep track of what processing has been applied to your data and perform comparisons,
++ to carry pipelines source code from development to production and

 **** Getting Pipelet
 
-There is not any published stable release of Pipelet right now.

+
+The first version of the software is currently in the process of
+stabilisation.  The Pipelet engine has now reached the level of
+desired sophistication.  On the other hand, the user interface has
+been developped in a minimalist way. It includes the main
