-Welcome
-========================================
-
-Botan is a crypto library for C++ released under the permissive
-:doc:`BSD-2 (or FreeBSD) license <license>`.
-
-It provides most any :doc:`cryptographic algorithm <algos>` you might
-be looking for, along with :doc:`tls`, :doc:`X.509 certs, CRLs, and
-path validation <x509>`, a :doc:`pipeline-style message processing
-system <filters>`, :doc:`bcrypt password hashing <passhash>`, and
-other useful things. A third party open source implementation of
-`SSHv2 <http://www.netsieben.com/products/ssh/>`_ that uses botan is
-also available. In addition to C++ you can use botan from :doc:`Python
-<python>` or Perl (both included in tree), or with `Node.js
-<https://github.com/justinfreitag/node-botan>`_.
-
-See the :doc:`faq` for a list of common questions and answers.
-
-.. only:: html and website
-
-   See :doc:`download` for information about getting the latest version.
-
-The core of botan is written in C++11 (or C++98 for versions up to and
-including 1.10) with no dependencies besides the STL and the rest of
-the ISO standard library, but the library also includes optional
-modules which make further assumptions about their environment,
-providing features such as compression (using zlib or bzip2), entropy
-gathering, and secure memory allocation. Assembly implementations of
-key algorithms like SHA-1 and multiple precision integer routines for
-x86 and x86-64 processors are also included.
-
-It runs on most common operating systems and can be used with a number
-of different commercial and open source compilers. The :doc:`build log
-<build_log>` contains information about recently tested targets. It
-has more than a few :doc:`known users <users>` and is already included
-in most major package distributions, including

-It was started as a personal project by `Jack Lloyd
-<http://www.randombit.net>`_,who continues to be the maintainer and
-release manager. Since the first release in 2001, a number of
-individuals and organizations have :doc:`contributed <credits>`.
-Check out the :doc:`release notes <relnotes/index>` for more project
-history.

-Patches, "philosophical" bug reports, announcements of programs using
-the library, and related topics are also welcome. If you find what you
