+Milestone number 2 of the upcoming 5.0.0 release of RDF4J is now available for download.
+
+Notable changes since the previous milestone build:
+ - We have [switched to the new CONFIG vocabulary](https://github.com/eclipse-rdf4j/rdf4j/pull/4699). If you ware interacting with the config files directly then take care to use the new vocabulary and if need be use the [Configuration class](https://github.com/eclipse-rdf4j/rdf4j/blob/develop/core/model/src/main/java/org/eclipse/rdf4j/model/util/Configurations.java) to help with handling use cases where the new and old config vocabularies are mixed.
+ - The refactoring and optimizations of the various iterations is nearing completion and there should be very few iterations that are still marked as deprecated.
+ - More deprecated code has been removed, if you find that you were depending on deprecated code that is now removed then please let us know.
+
+
+This milestone build is not yet feature-complete, but we are putting it out to receive early feedback on all the improvements we have put in.
