Below is an index of (mostly) all of the changes we've made since the beginning of Aarchon. The changes are sorted in chronological order with the credits listed after each change. While most of the more current code changes were done by own immortal staff, many of the early changes included bug fixes and updates that were circulated throughout the community. We try our best to credit the original author(s) of the work.
