I have been tormented by people to make an official change log of the code base for the things I do for the site. I will do what I can to maintain a this. If I release a new feature and don't update this, feel free to yell at me in a profile post. This list will primarily focus on technical changes and not things like new forums, contests and other content related things.

You may wonder why the descriptions are in a weird tense. This is because that it takes the load off my back by being able to copy directly from my To-Do list and into this thread. Also, this list is far from complete. I just don't want to go back almost a year and list everything, so I started with the most significant and made it more detailed in the past few months. I will keep it detailed from now on. That's my goal anyway.

  • Subscribing to resource section does not result in alerts (Thanks @tillinghast).
