+the package.  We've also completely re-written Return.portfolio.
 
 We've also moved to using roxygen2 to generate the NAMESPACE file,
 which required touching basically every single generated .Rd file.
 
+We're also altering out version numbering system. We'll be using a 
+"major.cran-release.r-forge-rev" form to make it easier for us to track 
+where reported issues may have been introduced.  Major releases will continue 
+to indicate that significant changes to the interfaces of the functions 
+were made.  This is our 4th CRAN release after 1.0, so the minor number 
+moves to 4.  The trailing number will reflect the revision number from
+R-Forge's svn associated with the tagged CRAN (or subsequent) release.
