+
+Welcome to the changelog for tabi. This document aims to provide a comprehensive list of all notable changes made to the project, organised chronologically by release version.
+
+We use Semantic Versioning (SemVer) for our version numbers, formatted as MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Major version changes involve significant (breaking) changes, minor versions introduce features and improvements in a backward compatible manner, and patch versions are for bug fixes and minor tweaks.\n
