Many users have asked for us to provide release notes for everything we put online. Since that’s a great idea we’ll start doing this with the current 1.6 release which has been deployed earlier this week. But before we dive into that, let’s give you some hints about our development process and versioning system.

Our development process and versioning system

If you look at the footer of our website, you’ll have seen the following for the past few weeks already:

That’s right: we’ve been on (parts of) version 1.6.x for the past few weeks already. The reason for that is we version after our sprints and do continuous deployment of most things we work on. This means that when we start deploying features for our v1.7.x sprint, we’ll already update the version number in the footer to that number yet we’ll provide release notes only at the end of our sprint. So while today, you may already see v1.7.x mentioned in our footer because we've already deployed some features from that sprint, the following release notes are valid at time of writing this post.
