We try not to use any history re-writing on any git branches available to multiple people as we find that it often causes confusion. We also believe leaving all commits in place makes it easier to see what changes happened where.\r\n\r\nI've tried to keep a relatively detailed changelog (although it's not always perfectly up-to-date). I'd also recommend reading through the merge commits or closed pull requests to get a more detailed picture of what has changed. I've also tried to keep semantic versioning and a 0.0.1 version bump should never break the API."}}
