+Summary of important user-visible changes for financial 0.4.0:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ ** The following functions are new at financial 0.4.0:
+
+      cfconv      cfdur      corr2cov      cov2corr
+
+ ** The following functions have been imported from the time package
+    which has been removed (it is now simply a dummy package that
+    lists the financial package as its single dependency):
+
+      busdate           busdays           datefind      datesplit
+      day               daysact           easter        eomdate
+      fbusdate          holidays          hour          isbusday
+      lbusdate          lweekdate         m2xdate       minute
+      month             months            nweekdate     second
+      thirdwednesday    today             x2mdate       year
+      yeardays
+
+ ** The following functions were made private (`fetch' should be used
+    directly instead):
+
+      __fetch_google__    __fetch_yahoo__
+
+ ** The function `datesplit' (just imported from the time package) has
+    been deprecated in favour of `datevec' from Octave-core.
+
+  ** The functions `rate' and `irr' should now be compatible with new
+      releases of octave.
+
+ ** The function `fetch' should now work properly when using google
+    finnance to adapt to the UTF-8 file received.
+
+ ** The function `dateaxis' should no longer enter in debug mode at the
+    end of its call.
+
+ ** The package is now dependent on the io package (version 1.0.18 or
+    later) since the functions that it depended of from miscellaneous
+    package have been moved to io.
+
+ ** Package is no longer automatically loaded.
