Version 4.0 was a test case; it works but needed a few small tweaks, so hence it wasn't released.

Version 4.1 has the following changes:
- All SMD parts! (except for FTDI 6-pin, ISP header, and reset pins).
- Incorporates built-in FTDI interface, so now uploading code is as simple as plugging in a mini USB cable!
-- If you have an FTDI cable/adapter, you don't need to populate the on-board FTDI components, just use the 6 pin FTDI header to program like previous versions.
- Changed from a hard to find voltage regulator to a MUCH more common 3.3v regulator.
- No software changes are required; uses exact same code as previous hardware version.

There will be an extra step to get this module to work. Most likely the 328 will not have a bootloader, so you will need to burn the bootloader first, using the ISP header and another Arduino. After that's been accomplished, upload code like normal.
