+
+Celebrating the 18th anniversary of Varnish-Cache and the first
+anniversary of the `SLASH/`_ storage engines today, your Open-Source
+Varnish-Cache friends from `UPLEX`_ have just tagged the first version
+1.0.0 candidate of our extension with storage engines (stevedores) and
+storage routers (loadmasters).
+
+Over the past year, we have received a lot of helpful input from our
+users and have implemented substantial improvements. THANK YOU to
+everyone who has contributed by reporting issues, providing feedback
+and, just recently, adding documentation. SLASH/fellow has also helped
+improve Varnish-Cache itself.
+
+After rigorous testing in particular over the past weeks, we now
+boldly claim that SLASH/ deserves a 1.0 version tag.
+
+HAPPY BIRTHDAY Varnish-Cache!
+
+HAPPY BIRTHDAY SLASH/buddy and SLASH/fellow!
