 The encoding process is relatively light on resources, and an Arduino should be perfectly capable of running this code.
 
-The intent of this library is to foster experimentation with e.g. automated beacons. FT8 already supports free-text messages and the upcoming new version will support raw telemetry data (71 bits).
+The intent of this library is to foster experimentation with e.g. automated beacons. For example, FT8 supports free-text messages and raw telemetry data (71 bits).
 
 Work is in progress (possibly taking forever) to explore decoding options. On a fast 32-bit microcontroller decoding might be possible, perhaps with some tradeoffs.
 
 # What works
 
-So far only encoding is implemented. It should support the basic set of FT8 version 1 (75-bit) messages:
+Currently the basic message set of the revised FT8 protocol with 77-bit payload (introduced since WSJT-X version 2.0) is supported:
 * CQ {call} {grid}, e.g. CQ CA0LL GG77
 * CQ {xy} {call} {grid}, e.g. CQ JA CA0LL GG77
 * {call} {call} {report}, e.g. CA0LL OT7ER R-07
 * {call} {call} 73/RRR/RR73, e.g. OT7ER CA0LL 73
-* Free-text messages (up to 13 characters from a limited alphabet)

 # What doesn't
 
+I'm currently working on these features:
+* Encoding free-text messages (up to 13 characters from a limited alphabet)
+* Encoding telemetry data
+* Decoding
+
+These features are low on my priority list:
 * Encoding contest mode messages
-* Encoding extended range signal reports (<-30dB or >=0dB S/N)
 * Encoding compound callsigns with country prefixes and mode suffixes
-* Decoding (working on it)
