 Included is a summary of changes to the project, by version. Details can be found in the commit history.
 
+## v4.4.3
+
+### Features
+
+* Windowed frame wall pieces were made for the "clean" front/back walls that line up with the extended sides.
+
+### Improvements
+
+* The inner wall piece has been thickened, bringing its surface closer to the end of the outer wall windowed frame
+  pieces, making the window less deep and the inner wall easier to see.
+* The inner wall piece has been shrunken on the Z in order to leave some material on the outer wall and thus improve the
+  friction fit and clamp of the outer wall piece, which was too weakened by the unsupported top and bottom otherwise.
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+* Documentation updates, especially around the printing of parts.
+* Corrected the names of some pieces that were accidentally duplicated from the file they were copied from rather than
+  what they were, or otherwise didn't match the standard pattern (such as it is).
+
+## v4.4.2
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+* Fix a regression with the small button screw-in space cutting into the frame wall supports. The screw-in space is
+  potentially more important for some nuts than the thickness of the frame wall supports, so the latter have been
+  thinned slightly.
+
+## v4.4.1
+
+### Features
+
+* A new lever + Sega 2P 6 button panel has been added. The overhang version hadn't been updated in forever, but the
+  inset panel moved stuff around in a way that allowed a couple aux buttons to fit in, so those have been added to the
+  overhang panel as well.
+* A horizontal stripe frame windowed piece has been added. YMMV may vary a bit on this vs. an empty window --- you can
+  see less of the inner object with the stripes, but it's a bit more stable.
+
+### Improvements
+
+* The frame wall slashes have been made a bit more reusable.
+* The area around button holes for screw-ins has been tweaked to be a bit smaller for 30mm buttons and a bit larger for
+  24mm buttons.
+
+### Miscellaneous
+
+* A bottom overhang panel was positioned incorrectly in the demo file; this has been fixed.
+* Added a demo of the one-panel overhang lever + 6 button stick.

-
-* `frames/`
-    * `complete/` --- these are the four walls of the frame as one piece, in a couple variations for combining into
-      larger arcade sticks. They are simple to assemble, but you have fewer modularity/customization options, and they
-      are harder to print because the physics of the material cooling will probably pull the corners up. They also need
-      supports, since the top and bottom of the frame both have trays for panels to go into. Use at your own risk.
-    * `pieces/`
-        * `box/` --- these are the same four walls (generally speaking) as in the complete frames above, broken out into
-          modular pieces to print separately. Because they are separate pieces, you can mix and match colors, and you
-          can lay them all face down on the print surface for better adhesion and surface patterns. There are also
-          variants here, the "windowed" pieces, for doing two-tone variants and that kind of thing.
-        * `extended/` --- the frame walls are pulled out to create MCZ TE-style extended sides. Rather than getting a
-          box look, you get a longer slab with nice bevels. These look nice, but slightly fiddily to print (and of
-          course need more material) --- watch your surface adhesion.
-        * `interconnect` --- complete frames are bolted to one another, but for frame pieces, there is an interconnect
-          that stands in for the joined inner wall. You need this if you are combining multiple sets of walls, e.g. for
-          a two-panel-long stick.
-* `panels/`
-    * `inset/` --- various panels, all of the same size, that fit into and flush with the frame, making the arcade stick
-      top or bottom. These work equally well with box or extended frames, and aside from using up a bit of the space
-      inside the frame, come with no downsides --- they print easily and are a pretty simple shape to tweak and remix.
-    * `overhang/` --- overhang panels have their plane extending over the edge of the frame, creating a bit of a
-      sandwich look. This is mostly an aesthetic choice, but they sit higher in the frame as well, the main panel being
-      over/under the frame rather than within it. This extra space is useful for taller levers. The only downside to
-      these is that they aren't as reusable as the inset panels, since the inset panels can go anywhere, but the
-      overhang panels must be designed to not overlap with other overhang panels, so you might have to make more custom
-      variants depending on where you put things.
-* `misc/`
-    * Pieces that I haven't organized better (yet) --- there are decorative plates for top buttons and similar to give
-      more color variance and some layers to the arcade stick, some very simple dustwashers, plates that fit rocker
-      switches and the like in Neutrik D or 20mm holes, and a lever mount spacer for getting your lever shaft at the
-      desired height. You don't *need* any of these, but you'll probably use a few.
-* `extras/`
-    * Various experiments and things not directly related to making an arcade stick. At time of writing, there's a
-      couple pieces for a little stand for the stick, solely for vanity purposes.

+    * **Avoid:** monotonic.
+    * **Good for the time:** Archimedean chords create the look of a circular ripple radiating out the center, and
+      depending on the material, you may not even notice it much, so it's a pretty good look/speed balance.
+    * **Great if you can wait:** hilbert curve leaves no discernable pattern on most materials, but some high gloss,

+      stand out too much.
+    * **Decent:** concentric is generally good, but you can get some pitting when the pattern radiating away from

+    * **Great:** Archimedean chords, just crank up the infill/wall overlap to avoid pits on the edges.
+* **Frame walls with Neutrik or aux button cutouts:** a reduced but similar problem with the action button decorative
+  plates, the circles near each other create weird interactions with the walls.
+    * **Avoid:** concentric, again, has problems with pitting where geometries clash.
+    * **Decent:** monotonic is pretty decent here, and you probably won't look at the sides too much, so maybe it
+      doesn't bother you.
+    * **Great:** Archimedean chords again, with the same infill/wall overlap as decorative plates.
+* **Flush frame walls:** you can pretty much do whatever you like here.
+    * **Great:** concentric produces an interesting pattern and you won't have collision problems in a rectangle.
+    * **Essentially great:** Archimedean chords yet again, you may just not like the pattern as much as the end result
+      of concentric.
+
+The Archimedean chord pattern is a good default and prints awesome parts, with the only exception being the top panels,
