Auction! V3 Release Notes
"Release Notes" are the
changes and problems noted associated with each specific version of
software, as well as improvements and new features. Many organizations choose to withhold this information.
While it's no fun admitting mistakes, we think it's more important to be
candid with our customers.
These
are OLDER notes, retained for completeness.
