All notable changes to NDCell will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, except for minor stylistic changes to organize features and accomodate named versions. This project adheres to Semantic Versioning with respect to the Rust API for ndcell_core, the NDCA API for ndcell_lang, and the combined Lua/NDCA API for ndcell_ui, the main application.
