+relmon
+======
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+relmon is a utility for monitoring websites of software projects for new
+releases. It crawls websites efficiently via HTTP or HTTPS using a configurable
+number of simultaneous connections and can parse HTML and XHTML documents as
+well as RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds. Software releases are detected by extracting
+the version numbers of links to distribution files from the parsed documents or
+feeds. In addition to the version numbers, the history of releases consisting
+of the times new release were initially discovered, any encountered errors and
+the time this information was last updated are recorded.
+
+The recorded information on each software project can be output in several
+different formats, including formatted text, machine-parseable text, and HTML,
+optionally with the history of releases in Atom feed fromat.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+relmon requires Tcl 8.5 or later, tcllib, tls, and tdom. It has been tested on
+Linux distributions and FreeBSD.
