+Description
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This submission includes new features and updates to stay compliant with R checks.
+
+A second change is that I am now the package maintainer, taking over from Thomas J. Leeper (thosjleeper@gmail.com).
+
+Thank you for taking the time to review my submission, and please tell me if there's something else I should do for CRAN.  -Will Beasley
