-Changes since 4.1.0
+Current Version: 4.3.1
+
+Note: this is scheduled to be the last release that requires boost, new releases after this will require a C++11 compiler.
+
+### Changes since 4.3.0
+* Add automatic conversion of arithmetic return types, following the same
+  rules as conversion of arithmetic types when passing parameters
+* Add automatic casting up the inheritence hierarchy when possible.
+* Enable travis.ci testing
+
+### Changes since 4.2.0
+* Enhanced unit tests
+* Add `continue` statement, fix various use cases for `for`  loops
+* Fix use of suffixed numbers in vector initialization
+* Code cleanups
+* Eliminate global data, which makes code more portable and thread safe
+* Fix issue #79
+* Merge pretty_print fixes from @mgee #82
+* Compiler warning fixes for latest compiler releases
+* Fix threading problems
+* Fix linking error on MacOS Mavericks #88
+* Allow non-const globals
+* Make sure user cannot name a variable with `::` in it #91
+* Fix various string / map / vector `size` and `count` calls for compilers which have weird overloads for them. #90 #93 #95
+* Make module search path relative to the currently running executable
+* Build and work with wstring windows builds
+
+### Changes since 4.1.1
+* Add support for automatic conversion of arithmetic types when possible
+  and when no ambiguous method dispatch exists.
+
+### Changes since 4.1.0
 * Fix missed gcc build error in 4.1.0
