v1.5.3

Release notes

• Yet another quick-fix that reverses the way the current release notes are shown. (This reduces the need for scrolling to see the more recent release notes.)
• The release notes page now shows the current release notes on the top of the page. (So that you don't have to scroll down. :P)
• We. Need. More. Jokes. In. Release. Notes.
• We've introduced bugs and squashed them.
• We've also tried to remove as many jokes as possible - but to no avail. 🤷‍♂

Internal changes

• Move release notes to a dedicated subdirectory. (Not much to see here for end-users, folks!)

v1.5.1

Release notes

• Fixed broken release notes page (You should be able to see the release notes now! Yay!) (e923f97)
• Use UTC dates instead of localised time internally. (Yay UTC! Better than localised time zones - and that dreaded DST thingy..)
• Added more jokes to the release notes. (Gotta spice up the release notes, ya know?)
• That's about it really. No really, that's it.
• Unless you want more release notes? Or you can check out the site's source code revision history if you really want to.

Internal changes

• Added support for arrays as release notes. (Yes! Much better.) (7784351)
• Major restructuring of the app to use Angular's project workspace format (a4cedaf)
