Changelog

Hello.

I intend to promote StrokeIt on a software forum. A changelog, if possible from version to version, would be very welcomed. I couldn't find any on the site. Any chance I missed it? If it's not present, can it be added?

Thank you.

Hello t0yz,

0.9.6 is my own changelog :). I don't find any information any more.

Thank you very much for your help!

We are looking forward to (many) new versions of StrokeIt and hoping on a speedier development cycle. This is a "enthusiast" type of application (which partially explains why it's not more popular :( ), and this kind of people enjoys lots of Betas, RCs and releases.

It will be amazing if versions.txt could be updated to the last version, if there is enough time.

Thank you again!
