I do a lot of sysadmin-related stuff with the open-source software in the PASE environment on the i, and it is a solo effort. There is no point announcing these things, since it matters little to anyone. Yet they should be logged, hence this page. -norwizzle (talk)

List of major changes to the IFS. This page started late; the retroactive log section below will contain prior milestones.
