There are literally 100s of changes and commits to the codebase every week. Some are bug fixes, some are tweaks to the user interface, some are new features, some are code quality changes, some are test code. A lot more than you will find interresting to know about, but I will try to keep a track of new features and significant changes of the app that might affect you as a user here.
