+## [4.0.0-RC2]
+
+This is the second RC build of Helidon 4.0.0 and is intended as a preview release only. Do not use this release in production. It is suitable only for experimentation. APIs are subject to change. Documentation is incomplete. And some functionality is experimental.
+
+The big news in Helidon 4.0.0 is the introduction of Helidon Níma -- a ground up webserver implementation based on JDK Project Loom virtual threads. With Helidon 4 you get the high throughput of a reactive server with the simplicity of thread-per-request style programming.
+
+Java 21 is required to use Helidon 4.0.0-RC2.
