Change History (5)

I'm almost tempted to call this version a "dummy", or "test" (if you will), release.

No, there are some changes. I just don't know how significant. I did a diff between 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 and got 68903 lines of changes. Most are version changes and formatting, but there are a few lines I saw that may be significant. It just isn't obvious how significant.
For the book, I think we can get by with only changes to packages.ent and rolling the patch version.

I cannot tell what changed other than a comment in many places at https://github.com/legionus/kbd: "Reformat source code in the single style"
The README, INSTALL, NEWS, and Changelog files are useless.
The home page should be http://kbd-project.org/
The 2.0.3 patch applies without complaint and the other instructions in the book seem to be appropriate.
