 ## Current status
 
-Current ClPy is beta version, forked from [CuPy v2.1.0](https://github.com/cupy/cupy/releases/tag/v2.1.0).
-ClPy is still under development and works on only limited APIs.
-
-* Most of [ndarray](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/ndarray.html) are supported, but not perfectly
-* Most of [universal functions](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/ufunc.html) are supported, but not perfectly
-* All [custom kernel](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/kernel.html)s are supported.
-* All BLAS APIs used by ClPy itself are supported. Other types are currently not.
-* Sparse matrix, dnn, rand libraries are not supported
+Current ClPy is release-candidate version, forked from [CuPy v2.1.0](https://github.com/cupy/cupy/releases/tag/v2.1.0).
+ClPy support most of CuPy's functions.
+
+* All [ndarray](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/ndarray.html) core
+* All [universal functions](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/ufunc.html) core
+* All [custom kernel](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/v2.5.0/reference/kernel.html)s core
+* BLAS library compatible with cuBLAS
+* Multiple device (thus ChainerMN)
+
+ClPy is still under development and has limitations as followings.
+
+* Other CUDA libraries (cuSPARSE, cuSOLVER, cuDnn, cuRAND, thrust) are not supported
 * half and complex are not supported
-* Works on only a single device
 * No multiple command queue (Stream on CUDA)
 * Dockerfile and some other files are just neglected thus don't work well
 
-Many original CuPy's tests are passed but not perfectly. See current [CuPy's test and example results](https://github.com/fixstars/ClPy/wiki/cupy_test_example_results).
+Therefore, almost all original CuPy's tests are passed excluding unsupported libraries. See current [CuPy's test and example results](https://github.com/fixstars/ClPy/wiki/cupy_test_example_results).
 
-[Chainer](https://chainer.org/) works with limited situation.
-Some examples are confirmed to work. See current [Chainer's test and example results](https://github.com/fixstars/ClPy/wiki/chainer_test_example_results).
