 ## 4.2
 
 ### Added
-- Incorporate custom event timestamps, i.e., add a configuration entry to the project configuration that allows specifying a file from which timestamps can be read, as well as an entry that allows locking this data; add corresponding functions `get.custom.event.timestamps`, `set.custom.event.timestamps` and `clear.custom.event.timestamps` (PR #227, 0aa342430ad3b354b9cf954dbe0838b056cf328a, 0f237d03913d2c940a008ea8fe84ba44817e77ea, c1803982357a3272b108f60cb1c976e3c2d9b1e5,

 - Add function `split.data.time.based.by.timestamps` to allow using custom event timestamps for splitting. Alternatively, timestamps can be specified manually (PR #227, 5b8515f97da4a24f971be453589595d259ab1fa1, 43f23a83bc66e485fea371f958bbb2ce3ddbd8d0)

 ### Changed/Improved
-- Rename existing vertex attributes for author vertices to be distinguishable from attributes for artifact vertices.
-  With this change, the first word after `add.vertex.attribute.` now signifies the type of vertex the attribute applies to. (PR #229, 75e8514d1d2f6222d2093679f4418e9171d3abf2)
