Daodan DLL/Change log

Here is a list of changes to each version of the Daodan DLL. Changes before v3.4 could not be reconstructed by version.

Half-combine's forks

Only the latest release of each fork is documented here, so rather than reading this as a list of changes in the latest version, it should be read as a total list of features which this fork adds to the DLL. These features are generally optional, being toggled through daodan.ini.
