+    <para>
+      Fedora 13 includes version 1.6.1 of <package>ugene</package>.  The
+      upgrade is "strongly recommended" as there are some fixes to serious bugs.
+      If a user wishes to compile the package rather than installing from the
+      RPM, they should review <ulink
+      url="http://ugene.unipro.ru/news.html#160210">http://ugene.unipro.ru/news.html#160210</ulink>
+      for specific actions they need to take to make the upgrade successful.
+      This is not necessary for a normal install using yum or PackageKit.
