+WARNING this is an alpha - NOT released targeted to fall 2023
+================================================
+
+AppArmor 4.0-alpha was released 2023-06-2??.
+
+# Introduction
+
+AppArmor 4.0 is a major new release of the AppArmor that is in development, these are not complete release notes of everything in alpha1 but just highlighting new or important developments
+
+Apprmor 4.0 is a bridge release between older AppArmor 3.x policy and the newer AppArmor 4 style policy which introduces several new features that are not backwards compatible. As such AppArmor 4.0 will be a short lived release, and will not receive long term support. The following AppArmor 4.1 feature release is planned to be a regular release, please take this into account when including AppArmor 4.0 into a distro release.
+
+Some features will work with older kernels but many of the features in apparmor 4 with require a development kernel.
+
+The kernel portion of the project is maintained and pushed separately.
