Change Log
The change log records all software updates by version number. Versions take the form of Major.Minor.Revision. Major releases are significant overhauls of the entire project, the current major number is zero (beta version). Minor releases are large software updates (Usually in the form of new features), the current minor version is three. Revision releases are bug fixes, the current revision is F.
