-##Non working examples
-
-- http://localhost:8888/web/examples/filter-stacks.html 
- (fading is peculiar)
-- http://localhost:8888/web/zoom/restrict-panning.html
-  Need to increase height of range chart - currently height of
-  brushable area is zero. New implementation needs it be more than zero.
-- http://localhost:8888/web/  
-  Range brushing inconsistent with previous version
-  If the range chart is brushed first it works correctly
-  If the Focus chart is zoomed first, brushing range chart fails.
-
-
-##Issues to be fixed
-
-- Peculiar fading in filter-stacks.html (Medium)
-
-
-##Before release
-
-- All High priority issues
-- Possibly Medium priority issues
-- Prepare upgrade guide (Initial version ready)
-
-
-### Next set of pull requests
-
-- Cleanup of zoom behavior. Testing of restrict panning etc.
-- dc.event.trigger
-- exit/enter/update sequence
-- Additional test cases for dc.util.add and dc.util.subtract
-- One for each new chart type - original PRs from community
-- Consider removing transitions for zooming and brushing
-- d3 stack to D3v4
-- Changing .tension call in lineChart
-
-
-### For end users
