§ Changelog

Thanks for trying WeLearn! This document highlights major and minor changes to the extension and web app.

Found a bug? You can help us! Let us know any feature requests, bugs, or problems. Write to us at welearn@cri-paris.org.

WeLearn is available as a prototype quality software, which essentially means that there are bugs, missing features, and incomplete user experience.

Here is what’s new in this version of WeLearn App:

§ v0.12.0

Released on 2021-06-23

Hey! This is my last release on WeLearn Project as I move on to a new opportunity. Since the beginning of the project we’ve progressively added many features and got several feedback from our testers and users. I would like to thank them for the help.

I wish the project to grow further under new developers hand! I had fun.
