+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.

 There are a lot of parts to pick from, but there are some structural variants to pay attention to; here's some help

+          variants here, the "windowed" pieces, for doing two-tone variants and that kind of thing.
-    * The `interconnect` replaces the need to bolt multiple frames together.
+        * `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.

 In the end, this should be extremely sturdy. None of the frame or panels should be loose at all, and you should be able
 to move, flip, gently toss, etc. the stick without anything moving or feeling loose.
