+__7-Zip-FL2__ is a fork of mainline 7-Zip which uses the [Fast LZMA2 Library] as the
+default compressor.
+
+[Fast LZMA2 Library]: https://github.com/conor42/fast-lzma2
+
+### Additional Matchfinder
+
+7-Zip-FL2 adds a new matchfinder option, -mmf=RMF, provided by the Fast LZMA2 library.
+RMF is the default for LZMA2 in this version. To use the other matchfinders in the
+console version, specify -mmf=HC4 (level 1 - 4) or -mmf=BT4 (level 5+) on the command
+line.
+
+The help file in this release has not been updated with information about RMF.
+
+### Status
+
+The command-line version has been subjected to automated testing on sets of files
+chosen at random. The FL2 component has passed heavy fuzz testing. Even so, this
+software has no warranty and both 7-Zip 18.01 and FL2 0.9.0 are beta versions.
