Update version to 4.2.0

- Conversions are only attempted on a dispatch
 - Conversions are only attempted after a normal dispatch has failed
 - Conversions are only attempted if exactly one function matches
   the signature of the parameters passed in - excluding the mismatched
   arithmetic parameters
 - This feature should not be relied on in performance critical code
   overhead is added for each function call that requires a conversion
   to execute, see the tests performed above.

+Introduction
+============
+
+ChaiScript is one of the only embedded scripting language designed from the 
+ground up to directly target C++ and take advantage of modern C++ development 
+techniques, working with the developer like he expects it to work.  Being a 
+native C++ application, it has some advantages over existing embedded scripting 
+languages:
+
+1) It uses a header-only approach, which makes it easy to integrate with 
+   existing projects.
+2) It maintains type safety between your C++ application and the user scripts.
+3) It supports a variety of C++ techniques including callbacks, overloaded 
+   functions, class methods, and stl containers.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+ChaiScript requires a recent version of Boost (http://www.boost.org) to build.
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+* Add the ChaiScript include directory to your project's header search path
+* Add `#include <chaiscript/chaiscript.hpp>` to your source file
+* Instantiate the ChaiScript engine in your application.  For example, create 
+  a new engine with the name `chai` like so: `chaiscript::ChaiScript chai`
+
+Once instantiated, the engine is ready to start running ChaiScript source.  You 
+have two main options for processing ChaiScript source: a line at a time using 
+`chai.eval(string)` and a file at a time using `chai.eval_file(fname)`
+
+To make functions in your C++ code visible to scripts, they must be registered 
+with the scripting engine.  To do so, call add:
+
+    chai.add(chaiscript::fun(&my_function), "my_function_name");
+
+Once registered the function will be visible to scripts as "my_function_name"
+
+Examples
+========
+
+ChaiScript is similar to ECMAScript (aka JavaScript(tm)), but with some 
+modifications to make it easier to use.  For usage examples see the "samples" 
+directory, and for more in-depth look at the language, the unit tests in the 
+"unittests" directory cover the most ground.
+
+For examples of how to register parts of your C++ application, see 
+"example.cpp" in the "src" directory. Example.cpp is verbose and shows every 
+possible way of working with the library. For further documentation generate 
+the doxygen documentation in the build folder or see the website 
+http://www.chaiscript.com.
+
+
+The shortest complete example possible follows:
+
+    /// main.cpp
+
+    #include <chaiscript/chaiscript.hpp>
+
+    double function(int i, double j)
+    {
+      return i * j;
+    }
+
+    int main()
+    {
+      chaiscript::ChaiScript chai;
+      chai.add(chaiscript::fun(&function), "function");
+
+      double d = chai.eval<double>("function(3, 4.75);");
+    }
+

-* Add the ChaiScript include directory to your project's header search path
-* Add "#include <chaiscript/chaiscript.hpp> to your source file
-* Instantiate the ChaiScript engine in your application.  For example, create a new engine with the name 'chai' like so: "chaiscript::ChaiScript chai"
-
-Once instantiated, the engine is ready to start running ChaiScript source.  You have two main options for processing ChaiScript source: a line at a time using "chai.evaluate_string(string)" and a file at a time using "chai.evaluate_file(fname)"
-
-To make functions in your C++ code visible to scripts, they must be registered with the scripting engine.  To do so, call add:
-
-chai.add(chaiscript::fun(&my_function), "my_function_name");
-
-Once registered the function will be visible to scripts as "my_function_name"
-
-[Examples]
-
-ChaiScript is similar to ECMAScript (aka JavaScript(tm)), but with some modifications to make it easier to use.  For usage examples see the "samples" directory, and for more in-depth look at the language, the unit tests in the "unittests" directory cover the most ground.
-
-For examples of how to register parts of your C++ application, see "example.cpp" in the "src" directory. Example.cpp is verbose and shows every possible way of working with the library. For further documentation generate the doxygen documentation in the build folder or see the website http://www.chaiscript.com.
-
-The shortest complete example possible follows:
-
-/// main.cpp
-
-#include <chaiscript/chaiscript.hpp>
-
-double function(int i, double j)
-{
-  return i * j;
-}
-
-int main()
-{
-  chaiscript::ChaiScript chai;
-  chai.add(chaiscript::fun(&function), "function");
-
-  double d = chai.eval<double>("function(3, 4.75);");
