+## Version 2 Changes
+
+- Added support for mouse whee scrolling.
+- Tickers now all get the vTicker class for css markup.
+- If a row height is specified that the items are now actually restricted to that height.  Add the following css to make longer items scroll properly.
+        .vTicker li { overflow: hidden; }
+- Added helper methods for easy scripting of the ticker.
+        $(selector).totemticker("start");
+        $(selector).totemticker("stop");
+        $(selector).totemticker("previous");
+        $(selector).totemticker("next");

+
+## Version 2.1 Changes
+
+- Now triggers a change event on element rotations.  You can now do this:
+        $(selector).totemticker().change(function() {console.log("I was rotated.");})
+- Added disableOnBlur option to pause the ticker when the browser window loses focus.
