+ANNOUNCING LEAP Client, the internet encryption toolkit, v0.2.0
+
+The LEAP team is pleased to announce the immediate

+
+LEAP (LEAP Encryption Access Project) develops a plan to secure
+everyday communication, breaking down into discrete services.
+
+The client for the current phase gives support to the EIP Service.
+EIP (the Encrypted Internet Proxy) provides circumvention,
+location anonymization, and traffic encryption in a hassle-free,
+automatically self-configuring fashion.

+This is the first testing release for the LEAP Client, and it
+is by no means intended for real production use. Especially you
+are encouraged to not provide any kind of sensitive password during
+your registration process.

+
+
+WHAT CAN THIS VERSION OF THE CLIENT DO FOR ME?
+
+You can connect to the EIP service offered by a provider of your
+choice, and enjoy a encrypted internet connection.
+
+The first run wizard allows to register an user with the selected
+provider, downloading all the config files needed to connect to the
+eip service There are also some minimal network checks in place.
