-----------------------------------------------------------
-hepunits is a LaTeX package built on the SIunits package which
-adds a collection of useful HEP units to the existing SIunits set.
-These include the energy units \MeV, \GeV, \TeV and the derived
-momentum and mass units \MeVoverc, \MeVovercsq and so on.
+hepunits is a LaTeX package built on the siunitx package which adds a collection
+of useful HEP units to the existing siunitx set. These include a refined
+definition of the \electronvolt energy unit (accounting for missing kerns),
+convenience derived units \eV, \MeV, \GeV, \TeV, their associated derived
+momentum and mass units \MeVc, \MeVcsq and so on (also with kern corrections),
+and convenience-prefixed cross-section and luminosity units.
-Additionally, some units are added for pure convenience. The
-contents of the package with the exception of the energy units
-mentioned above are subject to deprecation and addition, so please
-provide feedback on which HEP units you'd like added to the
-package.
+Additionally, some units are provided (for now) for pure convenience via the
+[sicmds] package option. Please provide feedback if you'd like to see more
+HEP-specific units added.
