[R-sig-ME] Release Dates lme4 Version

[Vincent Dorie]

As far as I can tell, there is a bit of understating when it comes to version numbers for R itself. RcppEigen 0.3.1.2.1 depends on Rcp 0.11.0, which in turn depends on R 3.0.0. So even though just about every package in the lme4 chain claims to work on 2.15 or so, the backwards compatibility has been broken.
