-## Changes
-
-This is a resubmission. In the third round of changes:
-
-* I use C++11 where available - this ensures C99 support for included C code.
-
-----
-
-In the second round of changes:
-
-* I clarified the copyright status of the package.
-
-* Clarified in the description that the package only works on Linux, Mac and
-  Windows. Clearly the libxls package does not work on solaris. I have
-  the skill to make minor fixes, but getting it working on a big endian
-  system is beyond my abilities.
-
----
-
-In the first round of changes:
-
-* The DESCRIPTION now includes the individual readxl authors
-* I have noted in LICENSE that libxls is licensed with BSD 2-clause
-* I have wrapped external package names with single quotes
-* I have eliminated many compiler warnings (all that I find across the 
-  compilers I have in mac, windows, and ubuntu).
-* The package now builds and checks on Solaris (with gcc)
-
-Please note that the libxls webpage is severly out of date: it describes libxls 0.2.0, where the current (bundled) version is 1.4.0. I don't have an big-endian machine to test the code on, but the code includes endianness checks which leads me to suspect it is supported. Similarly, I have experimentally verified that libxls supports Excel 95 workbooks, despite the claim on the webpage.
-
 ## Test environments
-* local OS X install, R 3.1.3
-* ubuntu 12.04 (on travis-ci), R 3.1.3
+* local OS X install, R 3.2.4
+* ubuntu 12.04 (on travis-ci), R 3.2.4
 * win-builder (devel and release)
 
 ## R CMD check results
-There were no ERRORs or WARNINGs. 
 
-There were 2 NOTEs:
+0 errors | 0 warnings | 1 note
+
+* The LICENSE file specifies precisely the license of the included libxls
+  code.
 
-* This is a new submission
+The package still fails on solaris, due to endian-ness bugs in the wrapped libxls library.
 
-* The BSD 2 clause license for libxls is now listed in LICENSE.
+## Reverse dependencies
 
-## Downstream dependencies
-This is a new submission
+I did not run R CMD check on the reverse dependencies because this release only fixes minor R CMD check notes, and a test failure illuminated by the dev version of testthat.
