-Yet another attempt to resuscitate MDB Tools – the Access-accessing C library
-and command-line suite.
+Welcome to the exciting world of MDB Tools! MDB Tools is a set of programs to
+help you extract data from Microsoft Access files in various settings.
 
-This is a fork of a [fork](https://github.com/cyberemissary/mdbtools) of a
-[fork](https://github.com/brjohnsn/mdbtools) of a
-[fork](https://github.com/leecher1337/mdbtools) of the [original MDB
-Tools](https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools) by Brian Buns. I got sick of seeing
-the project waste away, so I'm taking the initiative to get MDB Tools
-whipped back into shape and properly maintained.
+After several years of neglect, MDB Tools is under new management as of 2020.

 A brief history: the last *official* release (version 0.7.1) occurred in 2016.
 [cyberemissary](https://github.com/cyberemissary) (whose work this fork is
-based on) made a release in December 2018 and called it 0.8.2. *I am not
-planning a formal release* but rather collecting and merging patches to submit
-upstream. In the meantime you are welcome to use this code base:
+based on) made a release in December 2018 and called it 0.8.2. In September
+2020, @brianb moved his repository to the current address, and gave
+administrative access to @evanmiller, who acts as the present maintainer.

-Intended focus areas of this fork:
+An official 0.9 release is planned for late 2020. Areas of improvement since
+the 0.7/0.8 days:
 
 - [x] Security / stability / fuzz testing
-- [x] Thread safety\*
+- [x] Thread safety
 - [x] In-memory database API
-- [x] Making GLib optional
+- [x] GLib is now optional
 - [x] Improved ODBC compliance
 - [x] Continuous integration with Travis and AppVeyor
 
-\* Multiple `MdbHandle`s can now be created on different threads – and
-`MdbHandle`s can be passed between threads – but threads should not attempt to
-use the same `MdbHandle` at the same time. Use `mdb_clone_handle` to create a
-new handle using an existing file descriptor.

-Welcome to the exciting world of MDB Tools! In short, MDB Tools is a set of 
-programs to help you use Microsoft Access file in various settings.
-
-The initial goal of these tools is to be able to extract data structures and 
-data from mdb files. This goal will of course expand over time as the file 
-format becomes more well understood.
+The rest of this README explains what you can find in the project, how to
+install it, and how to contribute.
