Changelog

All notable changes to the directory data are documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog. Historical entries were reconstructed from git history because older releases were not tagged. Dates refer to commit dates on the main history; older README-only changes sometimes record link-title rewrites as remove/add pairs.

Changed

  • Added period filter and refined metadata badges.
  • Added editorial transparency documentation, including an editorial policy, expanded contribution guidance, and clearer project responsibility notes.
  • Added entry provenance fields for added dates, review status, authors, reviewers, and contributors.
  • Backfilled entry provenance from git history with inferred dates, authors, and contributors.

Fixed

  • Updated external URLs for shifted resources.

Added
