Development History
This is a list of recent changes added after GoldED 4 (Version 4.7.3)

A change in the version number implies major changes and improvements. The second number is the revision code. A change in the revision code indicates that new features have been added to GoldED. The last number is the bugfix level. A change in the bugfix level indicates that bugs have been fxed.
