Documentation rules

• Feature, fix, and patch releases are added to the file for their major version.
• The major version may only be increased after a deliberate decision and prior confirmation.
• Minor and patch versions within the current major version may be increased independently, for example v19.3.1.
• Each completed change should receive its own section with version and date.
• The version history documents completed changes. A separate status file may additionally describe the current project state.
• Before a release, package.json, the central version source, the README, and the relevant version file must show the same version.

Starting a new major version

If a change may justify a new major version, ask for confirmation first. After approval:

1. Create V{Major}.md.
2. Update the version number in the relevant project files.
3. Add the new version to this index.
4. Document the changes, limitations, and verification results.
