Change log

This is a list of new fixes and other changes made to SOUP during its continued development.

SOUP version numbering generally follows the major.minor.patch scheme. Odd minor versions (1.1.x, 1.3.x, 1.5.x, etc.) are reserved for unstable development versions ("devel" branch on GitHub), while even ones denote stable releases ("master" branch on GitHub). The change log below thus only includes even version numbers, as changes between development versions are too numerous to list.
