+Version 4.4, submitted to CTAN on 16 Aug 11EE. Redid the
+oldstyle italic numerals to fit their boxes better, and to
+reduce duplication in the code. Also, the old-style digit 3
+and E were too dark; I've lightened them up to match the
+others.
+
+Version 4.3, submitted to CTAN on 14 Aug 11EE. Shifted the
+hyphens, en-dash, and em-dash down to a more reasonable
+height, and cleaned up their code to remove some
+duplication. (Now they all simply fill a single,
+appropriately scaled path.)
+
+Version 4.2, submitted to CTAN on 1 May 11EE. Realized that
+the font-size commands based on the traditional
+typographical size names were inexplicably commented out and
+didn't work. They now work. Changed \diamond to
+\diamondsize so that it wouldn't conflict with the
+mathematics symbol.
+
+Version 4.1, submitted to CTAN on 7 April 11EE. Thanks to
+some messages from Wolf-Rainer Novender, I realized that
+packages greek-fontenc and cbfonts-fd are required for drm
+to function properly, so the appropriate \RequirePackage
+lines were added. Thanks to Keno Wehr, I learned that the
+"Rightward single tulip fleuron" was not properly aligned
+with its bounding box; this was also fixed.
+
+Version 4.0, submitted to CTAN on 24 February 2015, included
+new dozenal fonts and the code to use them; works in
+conjunction with the dozenal package.
+
+Version 3.2, submitted to CTAN on 15 February 2015, is a
+minor revision, fixing the placement of the accents in the
+titling caps. Also narrowed the dollar sign in all fonts,
+and made it match the height of digits in the sc and tc
+fonts. Finally, darkened the hyphen, as experiments showed
+that it was a bit too light.
+
+Version 3.1, submitted to CTAN on 3 November 2014, is a
+minor revision, fixing some of the internal code on a few
+roman letters to make them scale and bold more nicely.
+
+Version 3.0, submitted to CTAN on 1 October 2014,
+is a major revision; glyphs and metrics are unchanged, but
+the fonts are now available as Postscript Type 1 fonts now,
+being selected automatically by using the "typeone" package
+option. We also have some tidied-up math glyphs and a set
+of macros for typesetting *decorative initials* and
+*enumerate labels* (and other things) using the gmp package
+and Metapost.
+
+Version 2.2, submitted to CTAN on 24 September 2014,
+contained some significant changes. Some kerning fixes; the
+introduction of a short-tailed "Q" in the roman fonts,
+accessed via \drmshortq; and the introduction of superior
+and inferior figures, the former being the default (unless
+|nodefault| or |notextdefault| is selected) for footnote
+numbering. Did the usual kerning tweaks. Finally, I
+fixed the acute and grave accents, which in a number of
+cases were inexplicably backwards.
+
+Version 2.1, submitted to CTAN on 19 September 2014, simply
+added "<<" and ">>" as ligatures producing guillemets and
+fixed some kerning issues. It also fixed the widths on the
+figures in the boldface italic fonts.
+
+Version 2.0 of drm, submitted to CTAN on Wed., 10 Sept 2014,
+was a major release. New bold-extended italic and upright
+italic, new italic/slanted small and titling caps, new bold
+extended small and titling caps, redesigned italic shapes
+for "k" and "u" (little visual difference, but better
+parameter-wise), improved accents placements for lowercase
+letters in all italic fonts, improved accent placement in
+small and titling caps.
+
+Version 1.1 of drm, submitted to CTAN on Friday, 4 Sept
+2014, was a bugfix release. Primarily, it corrected very
+minor errors in the roman W and V, and some slightly larger
+unsightliness in the roman OE ligature and in the roman r,
+which got seriously distorted in bold and at larger sizes.
+Also put the old-style numerals into the italic fonts, where
+for some reason it was forgotten except for size 10.
+Finally, there were some potential namespace issues with the
+more generically named files (e.g., oe.mf), kindly pointed
+out to me by Karl Berry, which should now be resolved. Due
+to some errors in packaging, this version was uploaded again
+the next day, but the version number was not incremented.
+
+Version 1.0 of drm, submitted to CTAN on 1 Sept
+2014.
