NotaBene

This MindForth changelog archive shows the development of the AI Mind over time. Each entry begins with a version identifier consisting of the calendar date and a letter of the alphabet to indicate any multiple versions created on the same date. Each version ends in ".f" or ".F" for loading into Win32Forth. Only changes deemed significant at the time were recorded in the changelog. Individual releases of MindForth may include a changelog with only recent entries. Any fork or bifurcation in the development of MindForth may cause the splitting of the changelog into two divergent channels through time.
