REVISION HISTORY

Note: our software releases are numbered conservatively. We don’t try to make our code look better by randomly increasing the version to some large number. Releases that fix bugs or minor annoyances are incremented by the second decimal (e.g. from 1.50 to 1.51). Releases that have new features are incremented to the next first decimal (e.g. from 1.48 to 1.50). Only if we release a major new version (either a re-write or structural and functional code improvements) will we increment the first digit.
