+:fire: :tada: Sep 06, 2024: AutoGen now available as `autogen` on PyPI! We're excited to announce a more convenient package name for AutoGen: Starting with version 0.3.0, you can now install AutoGen using:
+```
+pip install autogen
+```
+We extend our sincere gratitude to the original owner of `autogen` pypi package for generously transferring it to us.
+
+**Note:** The previous package name `pyautogen` will remain valid for a transitional period. However, we encourage users to switch to the new, more intuitive `autogen` package name, as `pyautogen` will eventually be deprecated.
+
+📄 **License Change:**
+With this new release and package name, we are officially switching to the Apache 2.0 license. This enhances our commitment to open-source collaboration while providing additional protections for contributors and users alike.
+
 :fire: Aug 24, 2024: A new organization [autogen-ai](https://github.com/autogen-ai) is created to host the development of AutoGen and related projects with open governance. We invite collaborators from all organizations and individuals.
 
 :tada: May 29, 2024: DeepLearning.ai launched a new short course [AI Agentic Design Patterns with AutoGen](https://www.deeplearning.ai/short-courses/ai-agentic-design-patterns-with-autogen), made in collaboration with Microsoft and Penn State University, and taught by AutoGen creators [Chi Wang](https://github.com/sonichi) and [Qingyun Wu](https://github.com/qingyun-wu).
