 ### Notes
 
 * Parameters are optional.
-* SkipTo can be attached to any element on the page (see the "attachElement" parameter). if no "attachElement" is found, the script will be attached as the first element after body.
+* SkipTo will be attached to the `header`element as the first child by default.  If the `header`element is not present, it will be attached as the first child of the `body` element on the page.  The attachment can be changed using the "attachElement" parameter.
 * When the custom class is specified (see the customClass parameter), the user can override the style:
 
 ```css
-.skipTo.MyCustomClass {
+.skip-to.MyCustomClass {
   background:  red;
   left: 50px;
   top: 50px;

 ## Version History
 
+### Version 4.1.2
+* Added <code>aria-busy="true"</code> attribute to menu element when SkipTo is initialized and being updated with new menu items to support validators looking for required menu items for the <code>menu</code> role.
+* Added the <em>optional</em> <code>aria-controls</code> attribute to button element to reference the <code>id</code> of the menu element as defined in the W3C ARIA Authoring practices for [menu button pattern](https://w3c.github.io/aria-practices/#menubutton).
+
+
+### Version 4.1.1
+* Removed <code>aria-describedby</code> from button, since screen readers read the <code>accesskey</code> information.
+
 ### Version 4.1
 * Added feature for the <kbd>escape</kbd> key to hide tooltip when focus is on button.
 * Added new properties to set font family and font size.
