-This is the JavaScript, and now official, stable version of LESS.
+This is the JavaScript stable version of LESS with some blending modes (such those from Photoshop, GIMP or Fireworks).
 
-For more information, visit <http://lesscss.org>.
+These blending methods are implemented as LESS operations.
