+The following is a list of release highlights for the RMR library.
+At one point in time the RMR repo also housed a wrapper library with a
+separate version and release cycle.
+This resulted in &ital(leap frogging) versions for each package; the
+RMR core library was assigned odd major numbers (e.g. 3.1.0).
+When the wrapper code was moved to a different repo the need to leap frog
+versions ceased, and beginning with version 4.0.0, the RMR versions should
+no longer skip.
