This page describes the improvements of Melody
and Harmony Assistant.
How does our version notation system work?
The version looks like this :
'X.Y.Z'.
- When we make a major change we add one to X.
- When a new feature is added, we add one to Y
- When a bug is fixed or a cosmetic detail is
corrected, we add one to Z
Melody version 1.0 matches Harmony version 3.0.
If you own Melody, subtract 2 from
the
Harmony's
major
version
number
to
know
the
changes
made in your version.
