 Some of the goals of RxJava are:
 
-- Stay close to the original Rx.Net implementation while adjusting naming conventions and idioms to Java
-- All contracts of Rx should be the same
-- Target the JVM not a language. The first languages supported (beyond Java itself) are 
-<a href="https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxGroovy">Groovy</a>, 
-<a href="https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxClojure">Clojure</a>, 
-and <a href="https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxScala">Scala</a>. 
-New language adapters can be <a href="https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/wiki/How-to-Contribute">contributed</a>.

+- Match contracts of Rx should be the same
+- Target the JVM not a language to allow JVM-language bindings (such as [Scala](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxScala), [Groovy](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxGroovy), [Clojure](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxGroovy) and [Kotlin](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxKotlin)).
 - Support Java 6+ (to include Android support)

 ## Versioning
 
-RxJava is working towards a 1.0 release which will be reached once it "more or less" becomes feature complete with the [Rx.Net version](https://rx.codeplex.com). The backlog of features needed to accomplish this are documented in the [project issues](https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava/issues).
-
-In short, once the current issue list hits 0 open we will bump to version 1.0.
-
-Until that time the "semantic versioning" will be prefixed with the 0.* and breaking changes will be done such as 0.5.x -> 0.6.x All incremental non-breaking changes with additive functionality will be done like 0.5.1 -> 0.5.2.
-
-Once we hit 1.0 it will follow the normal major.minor.patch semantic versioning approach.
+As of 1.0.0 RxJava is following semantic versioning.
+During the 0.x.y releases, the minor (.x) releases were breaking changes.

-If you need to download the jars instead of using a build system, create a Maven pom file like this with the desired version:
-
-```xml
