    </release>
    <release version="2.15.0" date="2022-03-12" type="development">
      <description>
        <p>
          This is a pretty sizable release, so this beta version is being
          offered before a stable 2.16 in the next month or two. Any feedback
          and bug reports are greatly appreciated. The full list of changes for
          this release is quite long, but here are the highlights:
        </p>
        <ul>
          <li>
            There is a new Cardsets release - PySolFC-Cardsets v.2.1 (required
            to run 2.15).
          </li>
          <li>
            35 new games, plus enhancements and fixes to many existing games.
          </li>
          <li>
              New high resolution default display. This new display uses high
              resolution cardsets and scaling to make the games look impressive
              on larger monitors, but will still scale for smaller displays
              too.
            </li>
          <li>
              Note that the new high-resolution options will not override your
              currently selected options for existing users. If you want to use
              the new settings, you can delete or rename your options.cfg file.
            </li>
          <li>
              New feature to search for games, cardsets, and table tiles by
              name.
            </li>
          <li>Many new display options.</li>
          <li>Many missing game rules added to the documentation.</li>
          <li>Bugfixes and cleanup.</li>
          <li>And more.</li>
