Release Notes: What Changed in Each Version
What each version of map.army brought, newest first.
Overview
map.army updates itself in the browser. After an update, the app shows the notes of every version you have not seen yet — see Update map.army. The Version link in the Message & Info Center tells you which version you are running — see Notifications, Downloads and Project Limits.
Most releases also include improvements from user feedback and an update of the development environment; that is not repeated in every row below.
