 ## Overview
 
 hyper is a fast, modern HTTP implementation written in and for Rust. It
 is a low-level typesafe abstraction over raw HTTP, providing an elegant
 layer over "stringly-typed" HTTP.
 
-Hyper offers both an HTTP client and server which can be used to drive
+hyper offers both an HTTP client and server which can be used to drive
 complex web applications written entirely in Rust.
 
-Be aware that hyper is still actively evolving towards 1.0, and is likely
-to experience breaking changes before stabilising. The current area of
-change is the movement towards async IO and refining the design around
-that. You can also see the [1.0 issue milestone](https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/milestone/1).
+hyper makes use of "async IO" (non-blocking sockets) via the [Tokio](https://tokio.rs) and [Futures](https://docs.rs/futures) libraries.
