Changelog

Release-specific notes for RaiSim. An explicitly marked upcoming release is at the top, followed by the documented published releases in descending version order. Each version page summarises the user-visible changes — new features, behaviour changes, and bug fixes — without re-stating commit history.

Package metadata is updated only when a release is published. Consequently, an upcoming changelog entry can be one version newer than the package version shown in the documentation title and reported by RAISIM_VERSION.
