Past versions can be tagged to specific commits.

  • Since the project commit history starts at 0.9.0 (1a837d9). That's the earliest we can import.

The README.md isn't a great place for release information... reasons:

  • It makes the default README filled with historical information that a newcomer isn't necessarily interested in.
  • It requires bumping the README.md each time a release occurs, which is redundant with the releases area.

Backdating completed. v2.8.0, v2.6.0, v2.5.0, v0.9.0 tags created with release notes. Readme updated with basic steps for getting involved and using the library.

Note, releases older than v0.9.0 are not in version control, so release notes were appended to the bottom of v0.9.0.

FYI, v0.9.0 was pointing at the wrong commit. Fixed. Also purged the stale 0.9.0 and 2.8.0 branches (v0.9.0 or v2.8.0 tags can be checked out and compared instead). 2.8.1 has been left for now, it contains information that may be valuable to the project. Task to purge tracked in #33.
