 WORK IN PROGRESS
 ================
 
-Almost all AMQP features have been implemented. We only need to add reject/nack support,
-recover support, and support for returned messages. We also need to add more safety
-checks so that strange data from RabbitMQ does not break the library (although
-in reality such strange data does not exist).
+Almost all AMQP features have been implemented. We only need to add recover support 
+and support for returned messages. We also need to add more safety checks so that 
+strange data from RabbitMQ does not break the library (although in reality RabbitMQ
+only sends valid data).
 
 It would also be nice to have sample implementations for the ConnectionHandler
 class that can be directly plugged into libev, libevent and libuv event loops.
