+= 1 About Alpha Releases
+
+1.3 is the first release of Clojure that will include a series of
+alpha builds. We are adding these builds to support maven and
+leiningen users, who want a specific artifact that they can target (as
+opposed to building from master or "moving-target" snapshots).
+
+If you are the kind of person who used to track master by building
+from source, but no longer do so because you are using maven or
+leiningen, alpha releases are for you.
