A brief listing of changes made to the site since its 2018 redesign. I'm excluding minor things like photo and microblogging tiles.

2018-10-07: deployed 2018 version of the site to production.

2018-10-09: started work on re-creating the Tape Label Generator.

2018-10-14: made titles more responsive. Simplified title and logo CSS and templating. Fixed CSS minification bug. Fixed spacing issue with the Polyamory Explorer's button bar.

2018-11-13: finished and published the Tape Label Generator with numerous updates and improvements. Minor corrections to Saying ‘No’ to yes.

2018-11-15: started work on restoring the old ANSI rasteriser.

2018-11-18: redeployed the ANSI converter.

2018-11-22: working on the rather complex system of references needed for The CFT Book.

2018-12-02: converted a few chapters of the CFT Book (still drafts and not visible on the site). Various changes to CSS to support these documents.

2018-12-04: added a photo from the wiring of the CFT DFP board.

2018-12-05: added a photo of CFT PB0 and PB1 blank PCBs.

2018-12-16: lots of work on the CFT documentation. Slow work because it needs CSS rework, and also because I've forgotten so much of the CFT's inner workings I keep going back to the schematics to verify all the documentation I'm converting and updating.

2018-12-27: the CFT's theoretical description is nearly converted. Plenty of work remains, of course.

2018-12-28: describing the CFT's ALU for the theoretical description. It's messy, complex work and it's unlikely anyone will be able to understand it. Just as well the site is so insanely obscure then!

2018-12-30: added support for the ekko lightbox to zoom very large article figures and tile index images. Nearly done with the CFT's Theory of Operation.

2019-01-04: completed a passable version of the CFT's Theory of Operation and added an okay-ish version of the Bus Guide.

2019-01-05: added a description of the CFT's Memory Board.

2019-01-08: added some photos. Scanned and added AD&D Character Record Sheet.

2019-01-18: added ‘first record’ photo.

2019-01-20: completed CFT DEB boardand Microcode chapters. Fixed titles on index pages.

2019-01-27: added renderer for ANSI terminal directives to help highlight DFP output.

2019-01-28: added script-based tag filter. This helps make per-page custom macros using e.g. python scripts.

2019-01-29: Working on DFP chapterof the CFT documentation, and it's a monster. Fixed datestamps on this changelog because of course I was still using 2018 rather than 2019.

2019-02-07: Added some old Apple IIe screenshots. Still working on the DFP chapter of the CFT documentation. It's still a monster.

2019-02-23: Multiple sessions of work on the DFP chapter of the CFT documentation. It's in a good enough state to be live now, and so I published it. Added some more CFT-ish photos.

2019-03-05: Added photos and fixed various minor things like QR codes.

2019-03-19: Added a scanned fractal screenshot from 1991.

2019-03-24: Finally debugged the similarity metric and it's working properly. Now to port the old templates to the new site.

2019-03-25: Added some new (old!) photos.

2019-04-05: Added initial notes for Retro-PSU.

2019-04-08: Shot and uploaded new photos of the CFT boards. Currently only the MEM board photos are up, but this will change.

2019-05-24: Added discs graphics after playing with JavaScript and SVG.

2019-06-13: Been busy working on the CFT, so no salient updates for a bit. Added one new photo, though.

2019-07-21: Added a Greek article about abusive relationships.

2019-09-05: Still busy on the CFT, with some CFT-related content updated since the last changelog update. Imported an article on Polyamory.

2019-09-05: Still busy on the CFT, with some CFT-related content updated since the last changelog update.

2019-10-05: Published version 1.4 of mcasm.

2020-03-17: Added some photos, updated CFT project status. Most of my Copious Free Time is spent on getting the CFT processor verified so I can order boards.
