+HElib is an open-source ([Apache License v2.0][5]) software library that 
+implements [homomorphic encryption][6] (HE). Currently available schemes 
+are the implementations of the [Brakerski-Gentry-Vaikuntanathan][1] (BGV) 
+scheme with [bootstrapping][8] and the Approximate Number scheme of 
+[Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song][9] (CKKS), along with many optimizations to make 
+homomorphic evaluation run faster, focusing mostly on effective use of 
+the [Smart-Vercauteren][2] ciphertext packing techniques and
+the [Gentry-Halevi-Smart][3] optimizations. See [this report][7] for a
+description of a few of the algorithms using in this library. 
 
-***Dec 2017-Jan 2018:*** Added some routines for addition/multiplication and
-comparisons of integers in binary representation, and for homomorphic table
-lookup. See the supported interfaces in `binaryArith.h`, `binaryCompare.h`,
-and `tableLookup.h`. Some examples are in `Test_binaryArith.cpp`,
-`Test_binaryCompare.cpp`, and `Test_tableLookup.cpp`.
+Since mid-2018 HElib has been under extensive refactoring for *Reliability*, 
+*Robustness & Serviceability*, *Performance*, and most importantly *Usability* 
+for researchers and developers working on HE and its uses.
 
-The inputs and outputs to the new routines are logically vectors of Ctxt objects
-(one Ctxt per bit in the binary representation). These vectors are wrapped by
-the new `CtPtrs` wrapper (see `CtPtrs.h` and the underlying `PtrsVector.h` and
-`PtrsMatrix.h`).  Hence the same logic will work for any type of input that can
-be mapped logically to arrays of `Ctxt`s, as long as one can wrap them with the
-same wrapper class. In particular, we implemented wrappers for
-`std::vector<Ctxt>`, `std::vector<Ctxt*>`, `NTL::Vec<Ctxt>` and
-`NTL::Vec<Ctxt*>`.
+HElib supports an *"assembly language for HE"*, providing low-level routines
+(set, add, multiply, shift, etc.), sophisticated automatic noise management,
+improved BGV bootstrapping, multi-threading, and also support for Ptxt (plaintext) 
+objects which mimics the functionality of Ctxt (ciphertext) objects. 
+See [changes.md](changes.md) for more details.

 ===============================
 (tagged as 1.0.0-beta1-Aug2019)
 
-This version includes a new test framework (google test) and CMake build environment. It also includes much more rigorous noise management and noise estimates, making it safe to use HElib's noise estimates to avoid decryption errors. Also a beefed up GPV bootstrapping, with much more rigorous selection of parameters. Finally, Armadillo was removed and replaced with a faster and simpler complex FFT representation.
