Wtune History

A preliminary version of Wtune was first released in June 2001 for personal usage. When in January 2002 we decided to start a site dedicated to choral music, some work was accomplished to improve the software and first "official" version was ready at the end of February 2002. That version was deeply tested and some changes took place, so the first downloadable version actually was 1.3.1.1. The following list reports an overview of all the changes starting from the most recent version.
