+
+Included is a summary of changes to the project, by version. Details can be found in the commit history.
+
+## v4.4.0
+
+### Features
+
+* New "windowed" frame box walls have been added, which allow for seeing through the outer wall to something else, such
+  as an inner wall of a different color, or for people who like showing off their wiring, nothing.
+* An attempt at a two-panel "shiokenstar" layout has been added.
+* The "plates" decorative plate for my favorite layout was altered since I wasn't using it anyway.
+
+### Improvements
+
+* The frame routing hole, in either the whole frames or the interconnect, is a semicircle on one side, making it easier
+  to wire (and rewire) a completed arcade stick, and it also makes button layouts that span the connection point more
+  possible.
+* Less of the inner wall is cut out for e.g. Neutrik and aux buttons now, removing the possibility for inset panels to
+  allow for a tiny bit of light to seep the cracks and giving panels a bit more support.
+* The piece-based frame walls now meet at 45 degree angles at the corners, which makes for fewer print anomalies to
+  catch your hand or clothing on. These 45 degree angles are not used for the TE1-style extended panels, which still
+  meet at 90 degree angles.
+* All of the core arcade stick parts, and extras, have been reorganized and renamed into subdirectories that make their
+  purpose more obvious. This also makes it clearer what you're looking at when looking at the project file structure.
+  Documentation was updated throughout for this change.
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+* A stand for showing off inset-based sticks has been added to extras. This may get more love in a future release.
+* The blown up demo now uses frame pieces, as these are quickly becoming the standard build.
+* Cleanups to CONTRIBUTING.md
+* Demos have been given their own place in the repository.
+* The Makefile has been altered to use a Python script to build the files, due to the complexity of reorganizing the
+  project into subdirectories.
+* An abandoned floating stand has been moved into the attic --- it barely works right.
+
+## v4.3.x
+
+This finally removed the posts added to the panels introduced in v4.0.
+
+## v4.2.x
+
+This added TE1-like bevels to the repository, which look pretty neat.
+
+## v4.1.0
+
+Having improved the internals in v4.0.0, this broke out the frame into modular pieces, making them easier and more
+reliable to print, with only a trivial effect on the overall stability of the stick. This also made the bottom panels
+identical to the top, easing reuse.
+
+## v4.0.x
+
+This was an experiment that didn't survive scrutiny to add more posts to the frames and panels, in order to improve the
+friction fit, but it really just make the whole thing more obnoxious to work with. However, this redesign also came with
+some key improvements to the construction of the stick, which has made the subsequent releases easier to work with.
+
+## v3.3.x
+
+Largely a cleanup, this improved the component reuse and added more complete licensing information to the project.
+
+## v3.2.x
+
+This improved the frame height to accommodate more levers in inset panels, along with some cleanup.
+
+## v3.1.x
+
+This added panels for more layouts with more buttons, establishing my go-to of a lever, a directional arc with an extra
+button in a W-as-in-WASD position, and a Sega 2P-inspired 9-button action button layout.
+
+## v3.0.x
+
+I think the project really took shape at this point, as it resized the panels and frames to accommodate a two-panel
+layout for nice, long sticks.
+
+## v2.0.x
+
+This added the overhang plates to the mix, while still sticking to the three-panel design. It also started adding
+dustwashers and decorative plates, which improved the aesthetics of the project.
+
+## v1.0.x
+
+This was a simple three-panel stick that was somewhat ridiculously long, but worked, and built a lot of the foundation
+for the project. Its start as being inspired by the Open Stick really showed at this point, but things were coming
+together.
