+    <section><title>Office Open XML Support - POI 3.5</title>
       <p>We are currently working to support the new Office Open XML
        file formats, such as XLSX and PPTX, which were introduced in
        Office 2007.</p>
-      <p>Support for these is currently only available in an svn branch,
-       but we hope to have a full release including it by the summer.
-       People interested should follow the
-       <link href="mailinglists.html">dev list</link> to track progress.</p>
+      <p>Support for these is currently only available in the 3.5 series,
+       which is in a svn branch (not trunk). POI 3.5.1 beta 1 was released
+       on 2008-07-18, and is our first release including the OOXML support.
+       It is available to download from your favourite
+       <link href="http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/poi/dev/">local mirror</link>.
+      </p>
+      <p>Please note that the documentation on the website is for the
+       3.1 series of POI. Documentation on the new OOXML support is
+       included in the 3.5.1 beta 1 distribution.</p>
