-[Dual quaternions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_quaternion) are an extension, combining quaternions with
-[dual numbers](https://github.com/scidom/DualNumbers.jl).
-On top of just orientation, they can represent all rigid transformations.
-
-There are two conjugation concepts here
-
-    conj  (quaternion conjugation)
-    dconj (dual conjugation)

-further implemented here:
-
-    Q0  (the 'real' quaternion)
-    Qe  ( the 'dual' part)

-[Octonions](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octonion) form the logical next step on the Complex-Quaternion path.
-They play a role, for instance, in the mathematical foundation of String theory.

+Currently, this package supports `DualQuaternion` and `Octonion` types, but these will be removed in the next breaking release.
