History and Road Map¶

Past¶

August: Created installable python package

May: Implemented new field type text
June: Create deployable packages for Linux and Windows
June: Made pre-release v0.0 available
October: Implemented new field type node-path, re-wrote the way nodes move to new parents

A whole lot of other fancy things that will probably never get done
