-<li>The mnnd and ses.mnnd functions have been renamed to mntd and ses.mntd, respectively, for consistency with naming conventions in <a href="http://phylodiversity.net/phylocom">Phylocom</a>.</li>
+<li>Calculate Rao's quadratic entropy (alpha and beta diversity taking phylogenetic distinctiveness into account)</li>
+<li>Added more phylobeta diversity measures (UniFrac, Rao's quadratic entropy)</li>
+<li>Changed name of randomizeSample to randomizeMatrix for consistency with other functions</li>
+<li>Added automatic checks to ensure taxa labels in phylogeny and other data sets match</li>
 </ul>
 </li>
-<li>The pd and phylosor functions in version 0.5 of picante could result in incorrect calculation of phylosor in cases where the supplied phylogeny included taxa not present in any sample, or when pairs of samples collectively contained all taxa in the phylogeny. These functions have been updated in versions of picante >0.5, please see the documentation for more information about how PD and phylosor are calculated.</li>
