+INTRODUCTION
+------------
+
+  * Views Slideshow can be used to create a slideshow of any content (not just
+    images) that can appear in a View. Powered by jQuery, it is heavily
+    customizable: you may choose slideshow settings for each View you create.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+
+  * Views Slideshow 2.x requires Views 2.
+
+  * Views Slideshow ThumbnailHover 2.1+ requires Views 2.7+.
+
+  * Views Slideshow 3.x requires Views 3.
+
+  * There is no upgrade path from views slideshow 2 to views slideshow 3. Also
+    make sure you delete the entire views slideshow 2 folder before installing
+    views slideshow 3.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+------------
+
+  * Extract the folder you just downloaded.
+
+  * Rename the folder to /jquery.cycle/
+
+  * Upload the files to the /libraries/ folder in the root of your site. This is
+    different from Drupal 7, so be careful.
