-### Latest Release: v0.5 (August ?, 2018)
+### Latest Release: v0.5 (August 31, 2018)
 
-**New**: The latest release of PySceneDetect adds precise splitting support via `ffmpeg`, an improved CLI interface, and a significantly improved and refactored Python API.  Note that this release (v0.5) may break existing scripts and code using PySceneDetect.  Those who install `v0.5-beta` can check out [the updated usage document](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/blob/master/USAGE.md), or call `scenedetect help` from a terminal/console (`scenedetect.py help` if running the beta distribution locally).
+**Main Webpage**:  [py.scenedetect.com](http://py.scenedetect.com)
 
-There is also newly created API documentation manual (CLI coming soon) for the `scenedetect` module, available at:
+**Documentation**:  [manual.scenedetect.com](http://manual.scenedetect.com)
 
-[man.scenedetect.com](http://man.scenedetect.com/)
+**Download/Install**: https://pyscenedetect.readthedocs.io/en/latest/download/
 
-There is an installer for Windows users that automatically installs all dependencies and the `scenedetect` command system wide (64-bit only currently) - **Latest Windows build is v0.4, Windows users who wish to upgrade can install from source in the meantime to get v0.5-beta-1**.  This is the recommended installation method for Windows users now, and it can be found on [the Releases page](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/releases).  The Windows builds do not require an existing Python environment, nor any other prerequisites, but downloading `mkvmerge`/`ffmpeg` manually is still required for video splitting support.  There is also a portable .zip version available.
-
-It is still recommended that both Linux and Mac users download the source distribution, following the Quick Install instructions below.
+----------------------------------------------------------
 
-**Quick Install**: Requires Python modules `numpy`, OpenCV `cv2`, and (optional) `tqdm` for displaying progress. See [getting started guide](http://pyscenedetect.readthedocs.org/en/latest/examples/usage/) after install.  After installing the prerequisites, download the latest source distribution from [the Releases page](https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect/releases), extract the archive, and in a terminal/command prompt in the location of the extracted files, run:

 **PySceneDetect** is a command-line application and a Python library for **detecting scene changes in videos**, and **automatically splitting the video into separate clips**.  Not only is it free and open-source software (FOSS), but there are several detection methods available ([see Features](features.md)), from simple threshold-based fade in/out detection, to advanced content aware fast-cut detection of each shot.

 There are two main detection methods PySceneDetect uses: `detect-threshold` (comparing each frame to a set black level, useful for detecting cuts and fades to/from black), and `detect-content` (compares each frame sequentially looking for changes in content, useful for detecting fast cuts between video scenes, although slower to process).  Each mode has slightly different parameters, and is described in detail in the documentation.
 
-In general, use `detect-threshold` mode if you want to detect scene boundaries using fades/cuts in/out to black.  If the video uses a lot of fast cuts between content, and has no well-defined scene boundaries, you should use the `detect-content` mode.  Once you know what detection mode to use, you can try the parameters recommended below, or generate a statistics file (using the `-s` / `--statsfile` flag) in order to determine the correct paramters - specifically, the proper threshold value.
