+Release 1.0.0
+=====================================
+New API for client part of library
+---------------------------------------
+
+Example:
+
+    require 'rmodbus'
+
+    ModBus::TCPClient.new('127.0.0.1', 8502) do |cl|
+      cl.with_slave(1) do |slave|
+        # Read a single holding register at address 16
+        slave.holding_registers[16]
+
+        # Write a single holding register at address 16
+        slave.holding_registers[16] = 123
+
+        # Read holding registers 16 through 20
+        slave.holding_registers[16..20]
+
+        # Write holding registers 16 through 20 with some values
+        slave.holding_registers[16..20] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+      end
+    end
+
+for more information [see](http://rdoc.info/gems/rmodbus/1.0.0/frames)
+
+Conversion to/from 32bit registers
+-----------------------------------
+
+Some modbus devices use two registers to store 32bit values.
+RModbus provides some helper functions to go back and forth between these two things when reading/writing.
+The built-in examples assume registers in a particular order but it's trivial to change.
+
+    # Reading values in multiple registers (you can read more than 2 and convert them all so long as they are in multiples of 2)
+    res = slave.holding_registers[0..1]
+    res.inspect => [20342, 17344]
+    res.to_32i => [1136676726]
+    res.to_32f => [384.620788574219]
+
+    # Writing 32b values to multiple registers
+    cl.holding_registers[0..1] = [1136676726].from_32i
+    cl.holding_registers[0..1] => [20342, 17344]
+    cl.holding_registers[2..3] = [384.620788574219].from_32f
+    cl.holding_registers[2..3] => [20342, 17344]
+
+Support JRuby
+--------------------------------------
+Now you could use RModBus on JRuby without RTU implementation.
+
+RTU classes requires gem [serialport](https://github.com/hparra/ruby-serialport) which
+currently not compatible with JRuby
