General Information —> Change Log

This is a Change Log for the Planets.nu Client and Host software. The Host software includes the actual Host code (runs turns), the various utilities and all the "glue" code that holds it all together.

Since not every change makes it into the Log, we've also created a list of the announcements of important alterations and improvements. That list can be found here.
