 v4.1.0: (?? 2014)
 - RtError class renamed RtAudioError and embedded in RtAudio.h (RtError.h deleted)
+- pulse audio update to support bufferFrames argument with audio input (thanks to Jonatan Wallmander)
+- fixes for ALSA API to avoid high CPU usage during stops and to clear stale data before input (thanks to Pluto Hades)
+- miscellaneous efficiency updates suggested by Martin Koegler
 
 v4.0.12: (16 April 2013)
 - new functionality to allow error reporting via a client-supplied function (thanks to Pavel Mogilevskiy)
