+
+Hi Beyond20 lovers!
+
+It's time for another update to your favorite extension! This one has been cooking for a long time, and there's many reasons for that.
+
+The OGL scandal from WotC in January has definitely had a negative impact on the community as a whole, but Beyond20 has also never been so stable and in need of so little maintenance. While the extension is pretty much "feature complete" at this stage, and the very few bugs that have been reported were not critical, we've still worked to bring a new exciting feature which I think might open up Beyond20 to even more future possibilities.
+
+This update brings a few corrections to small bugs that have been reported in the last months, as well as the addition of some new features. I encourage you to check the [Changelog](/Changelog#v290) for the full list of changes. The big chunk of this update though is the new ability for websites to integrate with Beyond20, not just as a VTT, but also as character sheets. This means that Beyond20 can become the glue that connects any character sheet website to any VTT website.
+
+In order to make that possible, an extensive documentation of our [API](/api) has been written and this should hopefully allow various websites to send their rolls to Beyond20, letting it pass along that data to the player's VTT, making it a truly universal extension. I have heard from quite a few websites who are excited to bring the ability to roll from their sheets to any VTT via Beyond20!
+
+I expect, as more websites start supporting Beyond20, that we'll see additional improvements to the API and a possible increase in activity to support various use cases that may be non-d&d specific.
+I can't wait to see what the future brings and how Beyond20's horizon gets expanded with this new feature.
+
+As usual, thank you to all contributors, as well as to my generous [Patrons](https://patreon.com/kakaroto) and [Ko-fi/Github](/rations) supporters, who are making this all possible. 
+
+Thank you everyone and keep on rolling!😄

 # Release Notes
 
-Hi everyone,
+Hi Beyond20 lovers!
 
-It's been a long time since our last Beyond20 update, and it's a testament to how stable and 'perfect' your favorite chrome extension is! Ok, nothing is perfect 😁 but we've had very little activity in our issue tracker in recent months and things just seem to be working. I've been thinking a lot about the future of Beyond20, whether it's good as it is and to not change a working formula, or if it'd be worth it to expand our mission and add some new features that diverge from its core principle. The exciting thing about a new set of features will be a more active development again and more frequent releases. I'll let you know what gets decided.
+It's time for another update to your favorite extension! This one has been cooking for a long time, and there's many reasons for that.
 
-This long-awaited release adds quite a few small quality of life features, expanding on what we have already, and fixing a few rare bugs that were discovered. Among the most pressing though is a couple of changes to how D&D Beyond website works, especially with regards to accessing a character sheet from the "My Characters" page, which has stopped working recently. We also added support to the new "Read Aloud" text in LMoP adventure, and the new statblocks used in Spelljammer.
+The OGL scandal from WotC in January has definitely had a negative impact on the community as a whole, but Beyond20 has also never been so stable and in need of so little maintenance. While the extension is pretty much "feature complete" at this stage, and the very few bugs that have been reported were not critical, we've still worked to bring a new exciting feature which I think might open up Beyond20 to even more future possibilities.
 
-Most of the bugfixes were for rare use cases, though some significant work went into adding Foundry V10 support, as well as dramatically improving the support for the "Native Rolls" feature in Foundry VTT (requires v10) with our most recent FVTT module update (1.5.x).
+This update brings a few corrections to small bugs that have been reported in the last months, as well as the addition of some new features. I encourage you to check the [Changelog](/Changelog#v290) for the full list of changes. The big chunk of this update though is the new ability for websites to integrate with Beyond20, not just as a VTT, but also as character sheets. This means that Beyond20 can become the glue that connects any character sheet website to any VTT website.
 
-This release adds quite a few features and bugfixes, so please refer to the [Changelog](/Changelog#v280) for the full details of the changes.
+In order to make that possible, an extensive documentation of our [API](/api) has been written and this should hopefully allow various websites to send their rolls to Beyond20, letting it pass along that data to the player's VTT, making it a truly universal extension. I have heard from quite a few websites who are excited to bring the ability to roll from their sheets to any VTT via Beyond20!
 
-One item that doesn't appear in the Changelog but which we worked on as well is the Chrome extension Manifest V3 support. One of the challenges we've had to face unfortunately is the forced upgrade by the Chrome store from Manifest V2 to their Manifest V3 for Chrome extensions. While we did the upgrade and it mostly worked, there were some issues with it that we couldn't fix reliably, and after delaying this release for too long, we decided to downgrade back to Manifest V2 for now so we don't release a version that may be unreliable to our users.
-The Chrome decision to force extensions to move to their new MV3 design (by June 2023) is a very controversial one and has been a headache for many developers. We'll take the time in the next few months to ensure the upgrade is smooth and doesn't introduce any new issues in how Beyond20 functions, and we'll hopefully release MV3 support in the next release, without affecting any of our features.
+I expect, as more websites start supporting Beyond20, that we'll see additional improvements to the API and a possible increase in activity to support various use cases that may be non-d&d specific.
+I can't wait to see what the future brings and how Beyond20's horizon gets expanded with this new feature.
 
-As usual, thank you to all contributors, as well as to my generous [Patrons](https://patreon.com/kakaroto) and [Ko-fi/Github](/rations) supporters, who are making this possible.

-Keep rolling! 😄
