-This is the 'xecyr' package which is intended to help
-with Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages in Babel and XeLaTeX.
+This is the version 1.2 of 'xecyr' package which is intended to help with
+Russian and other Cyrillic-based languages in Babel / polyglossia and
+XeLaTeX / LuaLaTeX.
+This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the
+LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at
+your option) any later version. The latest version of this license is in
+http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt and version 1.3 or later is part of
+all distributions of LaTeX version 2005/12/01 or later.
+
+Now with a great pleasure I must announce that recent development of two
+most used Unicode-aware TeX engines (XeTeX and LuaTeX) came to the point
+where xecyr is not needed anymore. As you will see, all xecyr examples
+work now without xecyr (only slight modifification was typically
+required). All these examples work with XeLaTeX and almost all (except
+"xecyr-ex7-ru-x.tex") with LuaLaTeX. It is now possible to replace xecyr
+with dummy package or even remove it, but I still prefer to keep xecyr.
+There are many documents which depend on it. Old and new examples are
+also quite useful, especially for Russian typesetting.
