Why this page exists

Who it is for

For anyone who wants to know how long PEIL has existed and what was added when. It is the same list we keep to show since when the PEIL name has been in use.

How it is maintained

From the work journal, the software's change history and the list of completed components; one row per month, with a date and a pointer. Updated with every release.
