- This file describes major changes made to the Elm source distribution
- between Releases 2.2 and 2.3. Please remember that Elm is a volunteer
- project, we did what we had time for, and perhaps, what interested us.
- If you have a suggestion, or a fix, submit it, and better yet,
- volunteer to impliment it.
