9. # Notable changes to homo sapiens – change.log
## [2.1.0] – 1990s CE “technology revolution & internet”
### Changed
- New comms protocol to distribute “rights”. Printing press patch unexpectedly useful for distributing resources. Moved from
basic multi-core to clusters of independent processors with exponential growth in power distribution.
## [2.0.0] – 1789 CE “independence movements”
### Added
- Implemented new user permissions called “rights”, early prototype of multi-core processing with distributed power & comms.
## [1.2.0] – 1760 CE “industrial revolution”
### Changed
- Agricultural libraries replaced by industrial libraries, still single core but heaps faster.
## [1.1.1] – 1440 CE “gutenberg”
### Patched
- Printing press a minor patch for more efficient instructions distribution, wonder if it'd be more broadly useful?
## [1.1.0] – 2,000 BCE “cities era”
### Changed
- Switched rural for urban operating environment. Access to more resources but still on single core.
## [1.0.0] – 8,000 BCE “agricultural revolution”
### Added
- New agricultural libraries, likely will create surplus and population explosion. Heaps less resource intensive.
## [0.1.0] – 250,000 BCE “homo sapiens”
